Thank you.
No doubt many of you will have your own ideas as to how best to promote bilingualism within the federal public service. This is what it should be.
What matters most is that government provide both the tangible resources and the political willpower to make public service bilingualism a reality and promote it as a positive asset, not a barrier to advancement. Canadians who use public services and the government employees who provide them deserve no less.
Thank you for your attention.
