Thank you.
Mr. Ferguson, the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, 2009-10 Estimates, Performance Report looks at aspects of accountability and indicators relating to staffing. The sixth element is "merit". This is what it has to say about that: "Persons appointed meet the essential qualifications, including official languages."
Since the Office of the Auditor General itself acknowledges that knowledge of both official languages is an essential requirement when it comes to merit, do you have any comments on that?
