Thank you.
In 2003, the Translation Bureau had 1,200 translators and interpreters. According to the numbers I found, it now has about 825. According to the Open Government site, Public Services and Procurement Canada, or PSPC, paid $200 million to subcontractors for interpretation.
When do you expect to get back to at least the 2003 number of interpreters and translators, which was 1,200? This is a minimum, since hybrid work is increasing the demand tremendously. I'm talking about interpreters, trained by and for the House of Commons, who meet House standards, who follow the same laws, rules, and specifications of excellence as those who are here now.
