Official Languages

Based on the results of the Report Card from the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages on Environment Canada's performance with regard to official languages, the following main priorities have been identified for 2010-2011:

• Following the implementation of the updated Departmental Directive on Service to the Public in Both Official Languages that was approved in Fall 2009, the Department has committed to develop monitoring tools to assess the degree to which its employees respect their obligations regarding the active offer and provision of bilingual services.
• The results of this internal assessment will be shared with management teams across the Department and corrective measures will be recommended when required.
• Moreover, Environment Canada is developing a departmental directive on language of work to address some challenges in this area.
• Following the approval and implementation of this directive, Environment Canada will also develop monitoring tools to ensure that the workplace is respectful and conducive to the use of both official languages.

Environment Canada is fully committed to embrace the spirit, intent and provisions of the Official Languages Act and its regulations. In April 2009, an action plan was approved by the Executive Management Committee on initiatives related to official languages for 2009-2011. This action plan gives guidance to all branches and services in the Department with regard to initiatives to improve the quality of service rendered to clients and to foster an exemplary work environment where the rights and entitlements of all employees are respected. Several priorities were identified in the action plan for 2009-2010 and 2010-2011.
