Christine Leduc

I'm not a specialist in the official languages, but I know the Government of Canada has a policy that all information we publish and make available publicly must be in both official languages.

A lot of the data sets and information contained in databases is not translated. It's unilingual for the most part. It also contains a lot of characters and information currently not available in both official languages, so having information in both official languages is an ongoing issue for government.
