Mr. Speaker, the government is as firm as ever when it comes to the Official Languages Act: the federal public service must meet certain standards to be able to provide services in both languages, and also to allow federal public servants to work in the language of their choice.
It is true that we have set higher standards for senior managers. They still have one year to meet these standards. While I cannot anticipate the results, I firmly hope that all senior managers will comply with the new standard.
