The other topic that I am very interested in is the issue of bilingual positions held by people who are not bilingual.
Just now we were discussing the expiration dates for bilingualism: a position can lose its bilingual status overnight. I want to know how you are managing this situation. In my mind, I am bilingual and I have trouble seeing how I could stop being bilingual tomorrow. That is a personal matter. Scientifically, we will not challenge it, we will not even go there.
If a person holds a management position or some other position in a bilingual service, according to you, depending on the training they have received, they could potentially lose their French at some point. We agree that French is the minority language here, meaning the language we want.
Please explain that to me, because it is beyond me.
