Mr. Speaker, the Translation Bureau, or the bureau, is continuing to meet its clients on a regular basis to review priorities, discuss processes and optimize resource allocation. It is also continuing with its efforts to foster the next generation of interpreters and enhance its interpretation capacity. These efforts enabled the bureau to cover all interpreted events for cabinet and cabinet committee meetings.
The bureau does not track the initial times for scheduled events, as the calendar for cabinet meetings is constantly being updated. Rather, the bureau keeps track of assignments as they are completed. It does not retain information about originally suggested or scheduled times in its records.
