I would not want people to get the impression that unless they are bilingual they have no chance of joining the public service. That is the first thing. Second, once they enter the public service, they would have to learn the second language, at the start of their career and not at the end. You will undoubtedly agree with me on that. Now the comments and criticisms that were voiced were that a very large share of second language training budgets seem to be allocated to people who are close to the EX categories, which correspond to an age group about five years from retirement.
Is that correct?
