The report on plans and priorities was probably one of the factors that led the committee to undertake this study. It seems to claim openly that the bargaining unit representing translators will continue to be eroded, translation will be sent to the private sector and attrition will continue with further positions to be eliminated. Of course, that has an impact because, even if you send texts for translation to the private sector, translators have to reread them. That is work that it difficult for the Bureau to bill for.
