Official Languages committee  At the beginning of November.

Official Languages committee  No.

Official Languages committee  That question is really for the regions. The region makes the implementation decisions. There are a number of options. We could have in-house translators or we could contact Public Works and Government Services Canada. We can choose from a number of options to make sure we get things published in both official languages.

Official Languages committee  No, we know that's not enough.

Official Languages committee  I know we were about to hire a second translator. I believe there was a competition to find a second translator. We can also use the services of the Translation Bureau at Public Works and Government Services Canada.

Official Languages committee  And those are just the bilingual positions. That's the total number of bilingual members.

Official Languages committee  The official languages issue has always been a priority for the RCMP. Regarding Google, as soon as we learned that this translation engine was being used, as you said, we immediately reacted to rectify the situation. We explained to our people that using Google Translate was unacceptable.

Official Languages committee  Yes, madam.
