Basically, senior public servants must pass a test to determine whether they meet employment conditions.
Ms. Carr, you mentioned the decentralization of language training within the various departments.
Ms. Bullion-Winters, if a prime candidate applying for a position of high responsibility does not have the language skills to access that position, it is now the department's responsibility to ensure that this person is able to meet the language requirements of the position.
Prior to 2006, such candidates were instead sent to the Canada School of Public Service. Currently, does the department have the option of sending someone to the Canada School of Public Service and paying for their training, or have you not offered this service at all since 2006?
