Official Languages committee  For the time being, yes.

Official Languages committee  No. I would also like to point out that, beginning in April 2004, the bilingualism level for the entire public service was raised to a minimum profile of “BBB”. So, the RCMP has always met that obligation. We raised our levels to “BBB”. But, I repeat, the bilingualism level and language profiles of supervisory positions and others, for that matter, have always been “BBB” and higher.

Official Languages committee  Actually, there have always been bilingualism levels in the detachments in Moncton and the entire Atlantic region. And some profiles are much higher than “BBC”. This is not something that happened only recently; it has been ongoing for a few years now. We made sure that the bare minimum was “BBC”, “C” being the requirement for oral interaction, which is of course the most important means of communication.
