I don't have a lot of time left but I want to speak briefly to the issue of official languages.
After having discussed this with several anglophone and francophone public servants, I got the impression that the bilingualism requirement is for them a barrier to obtaining another position, an obstacle on their career path. I expect that the issue for you would be to see how to lift that barrier and put forward the fact that the other language must not be seen as a barrier, but rather as an asset.
I wish you good luck, and I thank you very much for your testimony.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
