You have to remember that, wherever you are in Canada now, there is diversity. That diversity includes both official languages. There is a short-term approach and a long-term approach. The long-term approach is to have programs that give students access to second-language training. In the short term, we can offer training to candidates.
I remember Mr. Michael Ferguson, a former Auditor General. He did not speak French when he was appointed, but he learned to speak it very well after taking training.
The conditions have to be created so those people can apply as candidates. If it is not clear that there are opportunities to become bilingual, that means that it might not be as important as it should be. The act has been in effect for more than 50 years, and we are still asking the same questions. How can that be after so many years?
