My second question relates to clause 4, with respect to an interim appointment. You mentioned that you feel there's a large pool of candidates out there in the event there's a sudden resignation.
Generally I don't like bills that try to predict future scenarios and mandate how a department or a group should react. Building on what Mr. Dion spoke about—the rating system, a candidate with CBC levels—what if somebody at a slightly lower level were a deputy within one of the officer's departments, but didn't meet the appropriate level of bilingualism your bill would recommend? Until that appropriate person was found, would it not be reasonable at least to allow the circumstances for a person who was close to fill the position for an interim period?
