The Program on the Provision of Official-Language Services (POLS):
- is designed first and foremost to support initiatives that allow the provincial government to improve services in French and to contribute to the equality of the two official linguistic communities
- recognizes the priority role of the provincial government and its departments in the delivery of services in both official languages while calling upon community organizations and structures to support the government in its objectives.
This orientation satisfies the requirements of the Canada-New Brunswick Agreement on the Provision of French-Language Services (publication). Among other things, it seeks to develop a more strategic approach and to provide the means with which to measure the effectiveness of the activities selected.
