First of all, congratulations on your election as vice-chair.
Second, I'm not saying that there isn't a language culture in the organization. Bilingual people are posted and can apply pretty much anywhere in the country. So, I don't entirely agree that there's a culture, in the sense that was described. I'm not at all convinced that the language issue is a cultural one.
Bilingualism exists in the organization. I'm bilingual, and I expect others to be bilingual as well. To ensure that everyone in the organization is bilingual—much like in the public service once you reach a certain level—we would almost have to hire only bilingual people, which isn't really realistic. However, training in Regina is given in a bilingual format.
So I don't entirely agree that there is a culture that neglects francophones within the RCMP.
