It's like a state within a state: they have their ways of doing things and that has nothing to do with the rest. All right.
That said, with regard to functional bilingualism—at the risk of starting a debate, but one that will be short because I only have five minutes, part of which has already elapsed—wouldn't it be “easier” to hire candidates who are already bilingual to fill positions requiring bilingualism? Perhaps I'm asking you for a political opinion.
Let's say that a bilingual position is advertised. People apply. Wouldn't it be more efficient for those candidates, if selected, to be already functionally bilingual? That means that they can speak equally well, at the established level, in English and in French.
