We heard from a number of witnesses from the translation bureau. It became clear that, over the past 10 years, under the previous government's policies, the translation bureau was treated as a business and had to be profitable. That forced several departments and programs to provide translation services internally. Rather than using the translation bureau, departments used people who were part of what is referred to as “phantom translation services”.
Could you tell me how the Treasury Board will consider those internal translation services in the future?
