Currently, the Official Languages Act regulations stipulate that when a designated bilingual position is staffed on an acting basis, the person must have the language skills required by the position. I don't see why it should be any different for key positions in the government and for the agents of Parliament. I feel that the requirements should be the same, whether the person is there in an acting capacity or not.
Why should we accept less, when we do not for other positions in the government? If the Official Languages Act regulations apply to all positions within the government, they should also apply to key positions in the government.
