Official Languages committee  With regard to CFB Borden, we held our three open houses in September and, among the guests, 38 community partners came to provide services. We're talking about schools for francophones, community clubs, health services and employment assistance services. These people come and see us, and base members are invited to go and visit their facilities, to go and meet those groups that provide services to francophone members.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chairman, I want to add that progress takes time. One of the things we achieved in August 2007 was a strategic plan for official languages at Borden that is for a number of years. We identified shortcomings, but we're making exemplary progress. I'm going to cite a few examples for you.

Official Languages committee  Good morning, Mr. Chairman. I would just like to point out, with regard to Borden, that there are approximately 26 units, 13 of which provide training. I should mention one point, among other things. When we say “by the leadership”, that means that we set a command policy, but that we also have to conduct follow-up and ensure that we are moving forward, that we are headed toward improvement.

Official Languages committee  All right.

Official Languages committee  No. The courses are designed in both languages, even in the case of a trial.
