EDIT: apparently I misunderstood the problem with Canada. This comment make less sense for this particular context. I still endorse the general point.
having labels in a language people can understand is not bureaucracy. Bureaucracy would be having to compile every document in both languages.
A problem with multiple national languages (I have small experience of this living on the border between Germany and France and medium-short permanence in Benelux) is that if you have to write everything in two/three languages there is no space left for English to accommodate tourists.
On the other hand, if there is already an translation infrastructure it can maybe be adapted to one more language more easily....
