You don't need "ca ca'o cusku bau la lojban", speaking in Lojban now.
You do want "ca ta'e cusku", currently habitual speakers, or at least
"ca so'uroi cusku", currently occasional speakers. People who used
to be speakers, or will be speakers in the future would not be that
much use, so you do want {ca}. What you don't need is {ca ca'o}.
But you don't really need to make the tense so explicit since the
question is clear enough without any tense.
