translate English to French: The DGEP was charged to effect liaison with the Secretariat,61 which was logical since his branch had, since 1964, been responsible for co-ordinating everything to do with second language training for civilians in the Department, liaising with the B & B Commission and the interdepartmental committee, advising the Deputy Minister on the steps to be taken to implement government directives designed to promote bilingualism, reviewing questions on this matter brought up in the House and establishing relations between the Chief of Military Personnel and the Chief of Civilian Personnel on the matter of bilingualism.62 In short, the DGEP was the office responsible for bilingualism at the DND.
