2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, Sept. 6, 1962 Bilingualism Splits Glassco Commission OTTAWA (CP)--The question of bilingualism in the federal civil service split the three-man royal commission on govern- ment organization, prompting fts French-speaking member to Write the lone dissenting state- * ment of the vast inquiry. The commission touched on the problem in advocating steps "to promote greater bilingual- ism. : But Eugene Therrien of Mont- "real disagreed with his fellow commissioners, Chairman J. >Gtant Glassco of Toronto and Watson Sellar of Ottawa, in -their majority decision that the -Commission's terms of refer. »ence did not call for a broad and thorough investigation of _ the subject. "Bilingual aspects of the fed- eral administration are neither adequate nor satisfactory, Mr. * 'Therrien said in an 11-page dis- sent incorporated in the 646- * page first volume of the com- mission report issued today. *-" He offered these three conclu- sions: 1. Bilingualism is not treated in the federal government as an efficient instrument of adminis- tration, as it should be. 2. There is an insufficient a mumber of French - Canadian public servants at the higher levels. 3. The policy of the adminis- tration fegarding bilingualism is wasteful both of energy and money. The commission as a whole to correct the inadequacy of bilingualism in the government service. : It recommended that the gov- 1, Adopt active measures to develop bilingual capacities among its employees on a selec- tive basis. 2. Intensify its efforts to at+ tract and retain more of the highly qualified young people of French Canada capable of ad- vancement to senior ranks. The confidence reposed in the civil service throughout the country will depend in large measure on how representative it is of the public it serves, the commission said. "If the objective of 'repre- sentativeness .. . is to be met, a career at the centre of gov- ernment should be as attractive and congenial to French-speak- ing as to English-speaking Ca- nadians,' the commission said. MUST BE ATTRACTIVE "At the very least, it must be sufficiently attractive to, bring to Ottawa more of the jhighly qualified young people of French Canada. "As matters now stand, ap- pointment to the centre of fed- eral administration. seems to French-speaking Canadians to involve abandoning their lan- guage and severing their cul- tural roots. "This sense may be dispelled if the central public service can be made more bilingual--to the point, ideally, where the two agreed that much can be done Higher Calibre languages can be used inter- changeably for internal cominu- nication." A useful first step by the gov- ernment would be to "provide! courses in both languages and to assist public servants, on government time if necessary, to become genuinely bilingual." The federal government had been less successful in recruit- ing and retaining highly-quali- fied French-speaking Cahadians than it had been with others. Based on limited reports gath- ered by the commission, the proportion of French-speaking employees varied among' gov- ernment departments from 18 to almost 40 per cent, However, in administration occupations the 'oportions were lower, Varying fom two to 28 per cent. FEW SPEAK FRENCH In Ottawa, only a few deputy ministers and other senior offi. cers were able to converse fluently in French. ' In his statement of dissent, Commissioner Therrien goes over much the same ground, but more pointedly in some cases. He feels the commis- sions terms of reference should have led to more specific ana more detailed conclusions and recommendations on bilingual- CEILING FALLS IN QUAKE Mrs. George Miller sits amid | Wednesday after ceiling col- ; debris in bedroom of her home lapsed during earthquake.

Particularly significant, it said, is the large number of ported today. "A more serious problem to- » day seems to be the difficulty of the public service in recruit- : Ing enough high-calibre person- nel." The commission, in its first report on government organiza- tion," said the annual estimated turnover rate in the civil ser- vice dropped from 16.1 per cent in 1953 to 10.5 per cent in 1960. This refiected a declitfe in the number of job opportunities available in private industry and an increase in public ser- vice. salaries. A substantial number of per-' sons left the public service vol- untarily--9,730 in 1960. In that year, the steady stream of deaths disablements and retire- ments took away another 8,999. : But turnover rates for the! , chvil service appeared to be' generally lower than those in private industry. HAVE ADVANCED DEGREES A limited suryey by the pay research bureau of the Civil : Service Commission showed that as of September, 1960, ap- proximately 13,000 public ser graduates in the public service with advanced degrees. Of the 13,000, more than 2,500 were at the master's level and nearly 1,720 at the Ph. D. level. The commission said that to compete: effectively for profes- sional and scientific personnel, the government's recruiting methods must be sufficiently flexible to permit offers to be made as speedily as by other employers. Delays now. encountered would be reduced if, as recom- mended, departments and agen- cies were empowered to recruit and select their key personnel, a role now vested in the Civil Service Commission. The government also should offer challenging and rewarding work in environments fully directly proportionate to the ad- ministrative requirements French Canada, which is not confined to a single geograph- cal area but, on the contrary, extends throughout the whole of Canada. 3, Entrance examinations for candidates to positions in the public service do not conform to the French-Canadian educa- tional system, nor are they set necessary qualities of leader- ship.

Much costly paperwork is involved, They are "'a source of great annoyance and frustration to public servants and yet seldom reduce expenditures." The commission suggests that the regulations be tossed out and replaced by a flat daily travel allowance. It would lead to "substantial savings in ad- ministrative costs." A transfer of an employee ar- ranged in the interests of the government service should not put a financial burden on such employee. Yet, "the infliction of hard- ship on a moving employee. which now occurs all too fre- quently in the guise of protect- ing the public purse, amounts to sheer mismanagement." emptying the safe, Levy ran to the rear of the building and grabbed a 12-guage shotgun. He ordered the men to surrender | jand shot two of them as they fled. One of the men _ he wounded was Rosetti and the other is one of the two who es- caped, Police said Rossetti was fa- tally wounded, however, during the high-speed chase that fol- lowed.
