Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Mr. Brison, welcome to our committee.
This morning, I am concerned. Just like me, you attach importance to our two official languages, French and English. You know how important it is for our public service to be perfectly operational in both official languages. However, there are some very troubling reports.
According to a report obtained under the Access to Information Act, the machine translation software does not work at all. Public servants are not happy with it. That's the first problem.
The other problem is that Public Services and Procurement Canada is saying that everything is just fine, and that the software is working well. There is a problem with that machine translation software, which has caused a second problem that I would describe as serious. The software is so bad that our officials are going on public networks to translate government documents, which is a security issue, Mr. Minister.
Can you reassure us this morning as to the steps that will be taken to address the shortcomings of the machine translation software?
