Official Languages committee  I think it's important to understand that in my capacity as director general of communications, I use multiple services to accomplish the translation requirements of the organization. I use our internal services. I use PWGSC services. I use contractors where they're needed. I use an overnight service that is supplied by Treasury Board of Canada.

Official Languages committee  With the news releases distributed every day in British Columbia by the RCMP, it depends on the day, but it's about 20 per day.

Official Languages committee  Yes.

Official Languages committee  Mr. Chair, I'd like to offer a comment. You're talking about internal RCMP resources.

Official Languages committee  Those other forms of mass communication through electronic means are a challenge, there's no question about it. We are understanding of our obligation that they meet the Official Languages Act requirements as well. We are working towards that. If you look on our national site, you will find that our Facebook page is compliant.

Official Languages committee  The commanding officer was very clear: we must comply with the Official Languages Act 100%.

Official Languages committee  It will take a prioritization of resources to make this a priority, absolutely.

Official Languages committee  With respect to our public communications through the website, which is the problem here, yes, we will.

Official Languages committee  It is for the most part. Every divisional site right now is compliant with static information. The area in which we are running into trouble in E Division, in British Columbia, is with the posting of news releases. What we have said to them is, you will not post a news release unless it can be posted in a bilingual fashion simultaneously, and the CO has endorsed that 100%.

Official Languages committee  Yes, I was going to say close to 10,000.

Official Languages committee  Of the membership, there is, yes.

Official Languages committee  Absolutely.

Official Languages committee  I have no idea whatsoever about that, sir.

Official Languages committee  Our compliance will be at 100% as of today.

Official Languages committee  That's a good question and it's one we are pursuing. As I said, we are pursuing it aggressively, and we have the support of the senior management and the commissioner to make sure that is the standard that is met.
