Please be advised that we are aware of the difficulties that the current situation may bring and are always available to respond to any concerns that may arise. The Official Languages Centre of Excellence (OLCE) team is working to explore options to address the various challenges that could arise from the measures related to the COVID-19 crisis.
At this time, if you have other specific issues that require our assistance in a rapid manner, we invite you to contact Marie Madeleine Chourouba at mariemadeleine.chourouba@tbs-sct.gc.ca, including OLCEInformationCELO@tbs-sct.gc.ca on your correspondence. She will ensure, with the help of the members of the OLCE, to respond to you as soon as possible.
Let us support you during this situation which effects us all. Take care of you and your loved ones.
