Can I just ask one final question? Does the Department intend to publish a detailed paper laying out standard procedures to be followed if the proposed changes to the Official Languages Act are enacted? If we get the codology of the past in respect of standards, it will undermine the whole purpose of the Act. Genuinely functional bilinguals need to be brought in. On the recruitment and allocation issue in the public service, does the Department intend to publish a detailed discussion paper on how all these measures are to be implemented?
