I received a question from my colleague. I'll read it to you.
Can people whose positions are subject to subsection 34(2) of the Official Languages Act avail themselves of the Public Service Official Languages Exclusion Approval Order, in addition to the deferment provided for in subsection 34(2) of the Official Languages Act?
For example, I received a bilingualism bonus for reaching the CCC level. It took me 15 months to do it, but I did it.
How long does it normally take someone to obtain the required language level for a position? How is that determined? For example, is it acceptable to take 10 years to obtain the required language level for a position?
