Yes Sir! Madame... is a Canadian satirical film, directed by Robert Morin and released in 1994.Charles-Henri Ramond, "Yes Sir! Madame… – Film de Robert Morin". Films du Québec, March 16, 2009. The film is essentially a philosophical monologue on identity performed entirely by Morin in the character of Earl Tremblay, a former politician who is filming his own testimony about the duality of being the son of a French Canadian father and an English Canadian mother, thus both belonging and feeling like an outsider to both of Canada's primary language communities.Jean-François Vandeuren, "YES SIR! MADAME... (1994)". Panorama-Cinéma, March 10, 2006.
