加拿大口译员警告削减成本措施可能会危及议会的双语准入。 Canadian interpreters warn cost-cutting measures may jeopardize bilingual access in parliament.

加拿大的议会口译员警告说,政府计划采取的削减采购费用措施可能妨碍公众以两种正式语文参与正式程序。 Parliamentary interpreters in Canada are warning that the government's planned cost-cutting measures for procurement could compromise public access to official proceedings in both official languages. 关注的问题包括取消听力保护,采取“最低出价”办法,以及将工资从每日费率改为每小时费率。 Concerns include eliminating hearing protections, adopting a "lowest bid" approach, and changing payment from daily to hourly rates. 国际会议口译员协会认为,这些变化可能降低服务质量,并加剧合格口译员的短缺。 The International Association of Conference Interpreters argues these changes could lower service quality and exacerbate the shortage of qualified interpreters.
