Rationale

To ensure equitable access to public services for all of the officially recognised linguistic minorities in our country, it is necessary that our Public Administration speak more languages. As this only concerns core services, the costs will be contained and new jobs for translators will be created.

Proposed Changes

	Law	Previous		Proposed
1	Official Language Policy	Single official language for all official documents and courts		Multilingual rights guaranteed (core services available in multiple languages)
