I believe it is, because we are committed to having a federal public service that continues to progress when it comes to official languages. The number of bilingual positions is constantly growing, from one year to the next.
According to a survey of federal public servants published in 2020, nine out of ten employees feel free to communicate with their immediate supervisor in the official language of their choice.
However, bilingual capacity deserves to be strengthened even further. That is why we are paying special attention to language training for our public servants.
I don't know whether you know this, Mr. Iacono, but over 40 per cent of federal jobs in the entire government require French and English.
I wanted to provide you with those figures.
