December 2nd, 2010Committee meeting
Supt Tim Cogan
Official Languages committee This latest round of discussions took place yesterday. But this requirement and this policy have been in our books for a long time—years. We've been working towards 100% compliance in all jurisdictions across the country with respect to the materials that appear on our website, and we continue to work towards that goal.

Supt Tim Cogan
Official Languages committee No. It has been in our books for a long time. Our policies are clear, and they're there to be followed.

Supt Tim Cogan
Official Languages committee The decision was a faulty decision. It was an error in judgment. Mr. Shields is very aware of his responsibilities to comply with the Official Languages Act.
December 2nd, 2010Committee meeting
Superintendent Tim Cogan
Official Languages committee I think that he clearly knows about this requirement. Our policy on communications is very clear with regard to the obligation to comply with the requirements set out in the Official Languages Act. It's clear. Over the last few years, we have held several conversations on the importance of acting in compliance with the law.

Supt Tim Cogan
Official Languages committee As I already said, he made a mistake. How should I say this? It was a lack of good judgment.
December 2nd, 2010Committee meeting
Supt Tim Cogan
Official Languages committee Yes. And his error was clearly discussed, and he has a clear understanding of his responsibilities.
December 2nd, 2010Committee meeting
Supt Tim Cogan
Official Languages committee Are you talking about British Columbia?
December 2nd, 2010Committee meeting
Supt Tim Cogan
Official Languages committee Actually, our main spokesperson for French communications in British Columbia is Annie Linteau. She is perfectly bilingual. Mr. Shields understands French well, but he's less comfortable with oral communication. He is probably able to communicate.
