In many examples contained in the correspondence that I sent to the Chief of Defence Staff, it really was not the case. I could mention one or two new examples that have not been given before.
This morning, I looked over the comments made by the recruits that we went back to see in June. Some of them mentioned that when they sent memos in French, for example, they were asked to take them back and translate them into English, or else the memo in French went to the bottom of the pile and no action was taken because the information was in French.
In my opening remarks, I mentioned that people who went to the medical clinic in Borden with health problems had to deal with service providers that could not interact with them because they did not understand French. This sort of thing has happened regularly at Borden.
