Yes, because we operate based on needs, based on a functional approach. For example, a francophone from Saint-Georges de Beauce who enrols as an infantryman will receive his recruit instruction in Saint-Jean, then will be posted to an infantry battalion at Valcartier. As an infantryman of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal 22nd Regiment at the Citadelle, for example, his language of work is French. Does that individual need English? The answer is no. Later in his career, if he chooses to become an instructor at one of our national schools, at the Gagetown Infantry School, for example, he may need to use the other language. At that point in his career planning, he may choose to go and take a language course.
As regards the second part of your question on families, we have family resource centres. Each centre offers the dependents of military members second-language training at various levels. The chief of military personnel, General Semianiw, issued a directive last spring according to which the officers responsible for the Canada Forces Personnel Support Agency must standardize language training so that it is accessible to everyone, regardless of location. When people who are originally from Quebec are posted, for example, to Edmonton, Alberta, their spouses and families can take English courses.
