Mr. Godin, you talked about figures, but it's also important to talk about people, about persons. In the public service, we see that there are two cultures, two generations affected. The money is allocated to managers. As Ms. Demers said, these are people in their fifties. As regards the reality of bilingualism requirements, the burden is now on the young people that we want so much to recruit in the public service. They're the ones who are penalized because they don't have access to language training. If you want to build a public service for the future, you have to invest in our young people. That's what's lacking right now.
