I would add as well that Canada is blessed with probably some of the best translators in the world, and to mobilize them in an emergency, I think, just makes common sense. Increasing their capacity to function and deliver their work to the federal government is a crucially important idea. Again it requires, I would think, amendments to the Official Languages Act to include sections on emergencies so that this imperative would be made crystal clear in the act.
