There are two things. I think that, faced with the current failure to respect linguistic requirements, the Canadian Forces decided to take a different approach.
I'm not prepared to say whether the risk has increased because of this change. They have recognized that there is a problem. I am trusting in the good faith of the Canadian Forces in this regard: they believe that this plan will better fill the gaps that currently exist.
However, it is entirely possible that these existing gaps, these current gaps, represent a risk. I don't know. I have not gone in the field to assess the possible ties between the health and safety of soldiers and their language of work.
There is a second point. Since becoming commissioner, I have had the opportunity to look more closely at linguistic requirements for level C.
