Nothing, and I mean nothing, pisses me off more then when French trumps 30-35 years technical experience.
Talk about limiting the pool of candidates. Basically what this says is you speak French? Oh good, we'll settle for the rest.
Bah, spit...

I checked further, they are doing a pool of eligible candidates.
