To enable our federal public servants one day to become totally bilingual, we suggest, for example, that they enrol in this immersion program that lasts one semester. Instead of taking courses for an hour a week over two or three years, we could concentrate that learning in 15 weeks. They would enrol in a one-semester course. They could get leave or take the course on a part-time basis, but, in one way or another, they could learn the second language and be immersed in a francophone environment for a semester. I think that could promote faster learning of that language.
