Official Languages committee  In fact, what happened is that we found ourselves with a rather high number of people who were on language training waiting lists. We did not want to continue adding names as we were making attempts to shorten the waiting list. Therefore, we placed a moratorium on the number of applications the school was receiving and began to work with the department in hopes of finding other service providers, because we were overwhelmed.

Official Languages committee  Do you mean—

Official Languages committee  It is the responsibility of departments to follow up on people who undergo language training. We simply train people. They come to our school, we provide language training, the departments provide a report each year—

Official Languages committee  We knew how many people were coming to school, but the Canada School of Public Service is not the only institution that can provide language training. For our part, we can say how many people registered in language training, but there were other students who studied elsewhere.

Official Languages committee  No, I do not believe that there is a school in Bathurst. That being said, we offer training in two different ways. People can go to one of the large centres for full-time language training or they can study at their own pace from home by using the online tools that we developed with funding we received under the action plan.
