Thank you, Mr. Vice-Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Théberge, I am going to take a part of your address and ask you some questions. You said that “federal public servants are not always able to work in the official language of their choice in regions that are designated bilingual”.
Canada is a bilingual country. Our federal institutions are bilingual. When you say that they are not able to work in the language of their choice, that probably means that they are not able to work in French. The converse would surprise me greatly. If some regions are designated bilingual, it means that other regions are designated unilingual. However, our federal institutions are bilingual.
