"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8292686\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are two ways to look at that. Contracting out means that those positions don't have to meet the language requirements. That work is done by a contractor who doesn't know both official languages, so we need to make sure that what the government says are its priorities are still met, even when we're contracting. Maybe we can make those part of the contracts such that if there's a bilingual position, we need to have them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8292687\" data-originallang=\"en\">From the perspective of contracting out the language services, I think we get less accountability and transparency. We don't have standards, and we need to make sure that when we offer language training, everybody has equitable access to that training.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8292686\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a deux fa\u00e7ons de voir les choses. Les titulaires des postes sous-trait\u00e9s n'ont pas \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre aux exigences linguistiques du gouvernement. Ce travail est effectu\u00e9 par un contractant qui ne conna\u00eet pas les deux langues officielles. Nous devons donc veiller \u00e0 ce que les priorit\u00e9s d\u00e9finies par le gouvernement soient respect\u00e9es, m\u00eame en cas de sous-traitance. Peut-\u00eatre pourrions-nous int\u00e9grer ces exigences dans les contrats, et faire en sorte que les postes bilingues soient r\u00e9serv\u00e9s aux employ\u00e9s \u00e0 l'interne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8292687\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne la sous-traitance des services linguistiques, je suis d'avis que cette pratique affaiblit nos exigences en mati\u00e8re de transparence et de reddition de comptes. Le gouvernement doit r\u00e9tablir des normes, et s'assurer que tous les fonctionnaires puissent acc\u00e9der de mani\u00e8re \u00e9quitable \u00e0 ce type de formation.</p>"
