As far as the Speech from the Throne is concerned, I've always said that it was a menu and not a meal. So we'll wait and see what is served up to us. I have a similar philosophy when it comes to the commission the government established. The results are what's important. Now in terms of the Canadian Forces, let me come back in part to what your colleague said.
I was very concerned when I heard about what Mr. Yves Côté discovered concerning the training received by French-speaking soldiers. I said very clearly to the people on the National Defence Joint Management Committee that Mr. Côté was perhaps on his way out, but that I was not going anywhere. We are now conducting audits on training. I have toured a number of military bases. We're keeping a very close eye on the Canadian Forces' transformation system, what people call the transition from a universal to a functional system. Only 44% or 47% of positions designated bilingual were filled by people able to communicate in both official languages. Clearly, it was a failure. The decision to change their approach was an admission of failure. What we now need to assess are the results of their new approach.
