I worked for the federal government for 31 years.  In the mid-1970s, I was
tested on my knowledge of french, and was told that it was good enough for the
performance of my duties at that time.  I know french better now than I did back
then.
The day I was tested, one man who had been asked to write the test said that he
had been requesting french language training, but was never receiving anything
but more tests.  My name went onto a waiting list for more advanced training
program that was available, but nothing ever happened with that.
Is it all the fault of the English speakers if they aren't all bilingual?  I
don't think so.
