Ms. Ellis, if after two years a senior official has not obtained the level required, don't you believe that it would be normal for the person to be demoted because he or she has not met the qualifications and therefore should be replaced by someone else? By doing so, we would avoid finding ourselves in a situation where a person is being paid a certain salary, with the help of someone working at his or her side to convey information in both official languages, at a much lower salary.
