More bilingualism for Canada
posted Wed, 2008-04-30 20:36 by
A recent Government sponsored report has concluded that Federal spending on the promotion of both French and English in Canada should be increased to $1 billion over the next 5 years – an increase of some 25% on current levels. The report has a certain immediacy, as the current national bilingual program which was inaugurated in 2003 is due to come to the end of its term at the end of this month. Over the five years since 2003 the Government has spent a total of some $810 million on resources to aid bilingualism.

Imagine then, being the interpreter who cost your Government a whopping 2.7 billion as was the case recently in India.

Figures released last week indicate a spectacular increase in spending by UK courtrooms for translation and interpreting services. The bill for such services was £16.7 million in 2004-2005 and increased to £29.3 million in 2007-2008, almost the double. This expenditure is frowned upon by many in the British law enforcement, legal and administrative systems.
