We are doing some outreach in that direction, for example with the Université Sainte-Anne. We need bilingual administrative personnel, and that university provides bilingual education. We are setting up an initial work-study program, the first co-op program. We are going to facilitate access to the public service for these people by letting the departments know that there is a pool of bilingual candidates there who have taken their degree in a work-study program, and that they would be good candidates for the federal public service. We are currently trying to determine what kind of partnership could be established with educational institutions to encourage bilingualism and make it easier to recruit bilingual candidates.
