Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm sure you're pleased that I'm here this morning.
Thank you for being with us, Ms. Barrados and Mr. Lemaire.
I'm going to make an observation, Ms. Barrados. Roughly speaking, you at the Public Service Commission are responsible for administering the Public Service Employment Act, which includes monitoring the official languages file. Your organization has received disturbing marks, an overall mark of C. However, it should have gotten an A.
How can we ensure that the public service as a whole gets an A if those responsible for enforcing linguistic and employment requirements in the public service are ultimately unable to get an A? Perhaps the idea of getting an A is dreaming in technicolour. Perhaps you could get a B because B generally seems to be the highest mark among all those we checked. It's a bit disturbing to see that you yourselves aren't able to achieve a level of excellence, whereas the others which you provide with employees are required to achieve a level of excellence.
