Thank you very much, Chair.
I can just go over some of the things we're doing now to improve this situation.
First of all, we are increasing the emphasis on the recruitment of bilingual judges. We have seven right now, serving Fredericton, as it turns out, and Montreal and Scarborough. We are providing training to 20 of the 33 judges right now to improve their French and the use of French in ceremonies. We've provided additional materials to ensure that French is covered.
Whenever there is a complaint, we follow up on that immediately. Some of those complaints were made to the commissioner's office, and we've been able to resolve those in specific locations around the country. Certainly the chief citizenship judge accepts the responsibility to really take this on and improve the use of French in citizenship ceremonies. We think we will see some significant improvements here.
Some progress has certainly been made over the past 18 months, and we expect to see continued progress.
