At the virtual meetings of the advisory committees on official languages held on June 22, 2020, the Canada Revenue Agency and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency were invited to share the experience of an OLMM review, which began in May 2019.

We need your help to populate that toolbox!

To support the federal government in its communications on the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the Translation Bureau at Public Services and Procurement Canada has developed a standardized bilingual glossary based on online scientific articles and newspapers as well as Canadian government and World Health Organization documents. The COVID-19 Pandemic Glossary clarifies basic concepts in both official languages and will enable clear communications with the general population. <br>
 
 
<br>
 
<br>

The glossary is available <span style='color:#3095B4;'>[https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/publications/covid19-eng.html online]</span>, and its content has been added to TERMIUM Plus®, the Government of Canada's terminology and linguistic database.
