Regarding current and future investments, we are inviting our provincial partners to make submissions at this time.
We are committed to listening to those submissions as we plan for future investments when it comes to improving and strengthening our official languages capacity in our courts.
With regard to your question on whether or not applicants are self-identifying, certainly within the last year through our renewed judicial appointments process, the questionnaire does offer the opportunity for candidates to self-identify as being bilingual or having the capacity to communicate in both official languages. I touched on that in my remarks. The statistics I provided highlighted the number of individuals who met all four of the criteria, which we use primarily to assess whether somebody has a sufficient capacity in both official languages, so that when we appoint them we can confidently say that they are bilingual.
