I've already voiced my concerns about the significant staffing reductions at the Centre of Excellence for Evaluation at Treasury Board. I believe the number of employees has gone from 56 to 13. So it's becoming more and more difficult for the people at Treasury Board to ensure a high quality of French and its use within the departments. The overall trend is to shift responsibilities to the departments, and that applies not just to official languages.
Shared opinions on that phenomenon do exist. Language training no longer falls under the responsibility of the Canada School of Public Service. It is now up to each department and, in turn, falls on each manager. Language training is supposed to factor into every employee's training program. On the one hand, that can be seen as positive in that the language training will be more tailored to the terminology and nature of each department. On the other hand, it becomes extremely difficult to evaluate where things stand. We are in the midst of studying the language training situation.
