Beyond language skills, it is important to feel comfortable and be able to talk about health concerns, particularly mental health. Although I consider myself perfectly bilingual, when I go to my doctor, I speak to him in French. This is the same situation.
It doesn't sound to me like the service obligation is being met. I can imagine the additional delays that francophone soldiers are experiencing before they can access mental health services when they are posted outside of a francophone region.
Since I have other questions, I unfortunately have to change the subject. In any case, based on the information you are giving me, the situation regarding the services provided to our francophone soldiers seems extremely troubling.
