The new one-year contract has an option for the government to extend it for an additional year. The core issue is its definition of distance interpreting as specifically involving events where the interpreter is in a different location than the majority of participants in a given event. How an event is defined changes how it will be staffed. For in-person events, teams of two interpreters work up to four-hour shifts, while teams of three work up to six hours. But for distance interpreting, that’s reduced to three-hour shifts for teams of two and to four-hour shifts for teams of three. Because they’re putting it down in the contract for the very first time, it’s important that they get it right, and, unfortunately, they’ve not changed the definition, and it’s not right, said Nicole Gagnon, a federal freelance interpreter and Canadian advocacy lead for the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC). As part of health and safety measures adopted to protect interpreters during COVID-19, Canada’s Translation Bureau has reduced shift hours to cut the amount of time individual interpreters are being exposed to the lower-quality audio transmitted by Zoom. However, the demand for interpreting services for virtual meetings continues to rise. Gagnon said while the definition for distance interpreting isn’t troubling right now as most meeting participants are remote, she expects virtual meetings will continue more often after the pandemic. She said the definition establishes a loophole whereby even if witnesses are tuning in online, if most participants are in the same room as the interpreter, it will be staffed as an in-person event. This would still mean extended exposure to low-quality audio. We just want to reduce the exposure, and they’re not going far enough in this case, Gagnon said. Gagnon said the AIIC issued a statement in April mentioning that the contract does not stipulate limits on overtime for distance assignments, and that when such events go overtime, interpreters are expected to soldier on without regard to any health impacts they may suffer. The PSPC has chosen a short-sighted option that is not sustainable. When the already short supply of freelancers is burned out, where will Parliament turn to ensure it is functionally bilingual? said Gagnon.

Как-то студент, желая поставить Дитмара Эльяшевича Розенталя в тупик, спросил: Скажите, а слово пох*й пишется раздельно или слитно?. На что профессор ему невозмутимо ответил: - Молодой человек, если речь идт о характеристике моего отношения к вам, то слитно, а если об обозначении глубины реки Иордан, то раздельно.
