We will report on our activities to follow up on the results of the 2014 survey in the 2014-2015 “Annual Report on Official Languages”, so stay tuned.
Basically, our role is to ask the questions, analyze the replies and transmit the results to the individuals who are responsible for official languages, the champions among others. In this way they are made aware of the results for their organization as compared to the overall results for federal institutions, and of whether their performance is better or worse on any given question.
Afterwards, when we have identified certain issues, for instance the official language used during meetings, the official languages centre of excellence organizes meetings. Working groups attempt to identify the best tools and practices to be shared with all of the institutions. We may, for instance, ask those who have had a good performance rating what they have done to obtain these results and how other institutions could learn from their experience.
