I understand that you're trying to do your job. You say that you have tests, that you administer the tests, that you hire people, and make sure there is an opportunity to have both official languages respected within the public service. However, there are departments where it is totally impossible to comply with the act if the senior official is unilingual. You say that the Public Service Commission has delegated staffing powers to deputy ministers who do not speak both languages. Therefore, we can assume that when the decision has been made, and once the door is closed, and people are in their cubicles, there's a big problem.
