Actually, there have always been bilingualism levels in the detachments in Moncton and the entire Atlantic region. And some profiles are much higher than “BBC”. This is not something that happened only recently; it has been ongoing for a few years now. We made sure that the bare minimum was “BBC”, “C” being the requirement for oral interaction, which is of course the most important means of communication.
So, in order to ensure a higher level of proficiency, we committed to raising all the requirements for bilingual supervisory positions to a minimum of “C”. Positions with bilingualism levels ranging from “BBB” to “CBC” and even the professional rating of “P” exist throughout the Atlantic region, and not just in recent years, but for quite some time now.
