Thank you.
Regarding interpreters, I want to add that a distinction must be made between the interpreters accredited under the terms of provincial associations and interpreters accredited by the Government of Canada.
At this time, some accredited interpreters aren't accredited by the Government of Canada. Currently, anything that goes through the Translation Bureau is entrusted to interpreters accredited by the Government of Canada. However, the competition issue arises when departments turn to the private sector and employ interpreters who aren't accredited by the Government of Canada. They may be members of provincial associations. I have no idea. Regardless, the difference must be understood.
We're concerned that non-accredited interpreters are being employed more often.
