That's the translator, and I suppose they hired him because he's qualified and a legal to work in Canada. I found it a bit strange, too, though.
As for Duceppe, I believe he rarely deigns to address parliament in English for political reasons. I wish the guy weren't a separatist - he's the most electable leader in Parliament at the moment.
