Official Languages committee  At bilingual points of service...

Official Languages committee  ...and unilingual?

Official Languages committee  There has been no change.

Official Languages committee  I wanted to make it clear that there was no change in the designation of unilingual or bilingual points of service.

Official Languages committee  There are unilingual English designated offices.

Official Languages committee  If you ask to be served in French in a unilingual English office...

Official Languages committee  ... anywhere in Canada....

Official Languages committee  .... the agent will tell you that you are at a unilingual English office and will give you the opportunity to communicate then and there with Service Canada by phone.

Official Languages committee  Or the agent will give you the opportunity to consult the Web site using the computer there and will give you information on the location of the nearest bilingual Service Canada office.

Official Languages committee  That is right.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chairman.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chairman, may I provide further clarification. The member mentioned the fact that the headquarters of the greater Atlantic region is located in Halifax and that this has an impact on New Brunswick employees. I would just like to reassure the committee and the member. The fact that the senior management of the region is located in Halifax has had no repercussions on other management positions in the region.

Official Languages committee  ...four provinces.

Official Languages committee  I just wanted to say that we haven't concentrated everything in the Halifax area.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chairman, I would like to make it clear that New Brunswick does not report to Halifax. Management positions in the Atlantic region are located in all of the provincial capitals. In that sense, we have a decentralized structure.
