Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Ferguson, last week, the president of the Public Service Commission, Ms. Barrados, appeared before a committee. In response to a question asked by a colleague on the appointment of individuals who would be in a position where bilingualism is essential, she said, and I'll quote her in English so you fully understand:
The way we operate in the public service is that the language requirement is an essential requirement. ... If you don't meet the language requirement, you don't get the job.
Do you have any comments about what Ms. Barrados said?
