The decision that was made was to transfer the responsibility of providing second-language training to each individual department. So it was decided that a limited and decreasing number of instructors would be kept at the Canada School of Public Service for a specific period of time. That period is now over. The decision was made based on language schools being able to increase their capacity while meeting standards during that period of time, and that is what happened.
The school, together with the Public Service Commission, also established standards for training, instructors and testing, to ensure that public servants could meet the requirements. So standards have been established, the private sector can take over and departments have the necessary funding. The decision was made in 2006 and provided for a gradual reduction. The decision has now been fully implemented.
