We need to revise the bilingual bonus. In this assessment, we also need to ask whether the public servants in question are providing a service to the public. There are many public servants who are bilingual, but who occupy a unilingual position, not a bilingual one, and who therefore do not receive the bilingual bonus.
Every time we ask that the policy be revised, Treasury Board tells us they want to abolish the bonus instead. So they don't want to talk about increasing the bonus; they want to take it away and reinvest the money elsewhere. In our opinion, we need both: an increase in the bonus and more investment.
