Thank you for the questions.
First, I want to specify—and I'm talking on behalf of my colleagues and our department, because we work very closely together—that the people we hire in the departments are locally engaged. However, they report to an immigration program manager. When they're hired, the new employees are clearly informed that they must comply with the code of values and ethics. We discuss the code with these people and we give them a copy of the code. They know what the Government of Canada expects, and they know the values they must adhere to throughout their government career.
The course is also mandatory. As I said, the course is now part of the conditions of employment. All new job offers mention not only that employees must comply with the code, but that they must also take the mandatory course within three months of their arrival.
