(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/09/17 -- Public Services and Procurement Canada
Today, the Honourable Judy M. Foote, Minister of Public Services and Procurement, , re-iterated her support for Canada''s Official Languages and announced a series of measures to strengthen the Translation Bureau.
The Government is committed to renewing the Translation Bureau as a centre of excellence ready to embrace innovation, adopt leading-edge practices, and recruit the best in class. Minister Foote detailed a comprehensive vision for investing in the Translation Bureau, which in addition to hiring a new Chief Executive Officer, includes hiring a Chief Quality Officer to guarantee the Translation Bureau''s linguistic services are of the highest quality.
The Bureau will also focus on ending the era of cuts and building the next generation of talent by hiring a minimum of 50 students a year in each of the next five years, and will make these opportunities available to students in regional offices so as to increase capacity for Official Languages across Canada.
Minister Foote has requested that a review be undertaken to return the Translation Bureau to a mandatory service for government departments. In addition, the Minister re-iterated the Government''s commitment to ensuring interpreters continue to be accredited by the Translation Bureau. Finally, the Request for Standing Offers for conference interpretation services has been cancelled and a new process will be undertaken in collaboration with stakeholders to reflect the Government''s priority that quality of interpretation services remains at the core of our linguistic services.
These measures will restore the Translation Bureau as a center of excellence for delivering high-quality translation and interpretation services.
