I do not make such recommendations on an official basis. Your question is an important one, and I believe it comprises two elements. We have recruitment plans targeting young people and external candidates. Before beginning the staffing process, it has to be determined whether the position is bilingual. In order to do so, the manager responsible for the position must answer a host of questions. If it is a designated bilingual position, it must be clearly indicated in the advertising process that bilingualism is one of the job requirements. With regard to positions that target those who are already bilingual, the approach favoured will depend on the staffing process used by the department in question.
