Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My question is for Ms. Kassi. I'm continuing in the same vein. Fewer and fewer bilingual students are coming out of educational institutions. There is some concern, and, as my colleague just mentioned, there will be increasing job opportunities. So we have to ensure that we have people who have the skills to occupy the jobs that will be available. Even the Minister of Canadian Heritage said, when he came here, that they had abandoned their target of doubling the number of bilingual students by 2013.
Since you are favoured by your geographic situation, I would like to know whether the federal government has approached you for an initiative or strategy to meet the public service's need for bilingual staff.
