Does Dion actually understand spoken English?

There is some question about that, in the week (?) leading up to the past election on October 14th, Dion was in a one-on-one interview with a Halifax-based news anchor and during the taping of the segment, the anchor (Steve Murphy) asked Dion 'what would you do differently if you were Prime Minister?' and Dion screwed up on his response not once, not twice, but three times. Originally, the broadcaster (CTV News) agreed not to broadcast the screw ups, but in an amazing demonstration of the media actually doing it's job, Murphy and CTV made the decision to broadcast EVERYTHING, and this YouTube clip not only is worth viewing for what is a refreshing display of responsible media behavior (as I see it), but it reveals Dion in all of his bumbling, fumbling, majesty:

Enjoy!

I’d seen that performance and wondered if that was the norm for this guy.
