I am comfortable in both languages. I take advantage of every opportunity I get at the office to communicate in French with my colleagues as well as with stakeholders and victims groups. For me, it is very important that people be able to receive services in the official language of their choice. I sometimes have trouble with grammar and verb tenses, but my understanding of French is good. If I am passionate about an issue, I choose to speak English.
