These were brought to the board’s attention, and it has made improvements, including hiring more bilingual staff to respond to telephone inquiries in French more quickly (within 20-30 minutes, rather than up to two hours). In designated regions, bilingual LTB members are now assigned as a priority, and four members have been hired for bilingual emergency hearings.
