It must be clearly understood that the measurement system used for military members and the one used for public servants are different. We don't command individuals by position, but by unit. So if you calculate that one position equals one profile equals one person and that one plus one equals three and that results in a perfect mark, we don't operate like that.
The way we operate in the Canadian Forces is that the unit has to be able to provide the service. So the commander has to employ his resources appropriately in order to achieve that result. Let me give you an example. We have an orderly room, either at the Valcartier base in Quebec or in Edmonton, Alberta. All arrival and departure procedures must be accessible to military members in both official languages, but the 20 employees and members who are part of that orderly room don't need to be bilingual. We have to have a bilingual core so that we can provide the services. That core can change.
Members are transferred; they go and take courses. In this way, the commander has to be able to manage his bilingual resources—that's a way of speaking—to be able to provide the service. It is therefore very difficult for the Canadian Forces to issue figures. That's why we've developed a performance measurement system to really reflect our unique situation; that is to say that, under the National Defence Act, our people are managed in units, and not individually.
