It says that theye need to do a better job with bilingualism in the Coast Guard...and nowt they will. Sorry. I should have clarified myself more; I was brief owing to time constraints last night. My point was not about official bilingualism, but Official Bilingualism. With Official Bilingualism permeating so much of of the Federal government and the private sector (packaging, labelling, sometimes advertising, civil servant language training, etc.), that it fails to focus on ensuring bilingualism where it counts, where lives are at stake, owing to so many less important distractions. In that sense, we could rewrite the Official Languages Act to be more focussed, thus preventing it from being distracted by less important bilingualsim issues so as to ensure bilingualism in the Coast Guard and elsewhere where it is absolutely crucial for safety reasons. After all, safety ought always to take priority over teaching English and French to some civil servant sitting in an office and who seldom needs his second language anyway.
