“We are keeping high standards for our translators and interpreters. We are not lowering our rules to let new interpreters in. Instead, we are spending money on training programs to prepare new interpreters so our work can continue in English and French.”
“Madam Speaker, again I thank my colleague for the question. I want to assure him that we will always endeavour to maintain the highest standards of quality in interpretation and translation at Parliament. As for the interpreters, I want to assure my colleague that there is no lowering of standards in terms of accreditation. In fact, we want to ensure that we have the next generation of interpreters. That is why we are investing in programs to train new interpreters coming to lend us a hand so that our work may continue in both official languages at the highest quality.”
