Roger Melanson dodges questions about unilingual commissionaire

Roger Melanson wouldn't answer questions about events leading to Wayne Grant losing some work hours

The provincial cabinet minister responsible for government buildings has refused to discuss how his department handled the case of unilingual commissionaire Wayne Grant.

• Liberals, PCs show fissures over bilingualism controversy
• Unilingual commissionaire's posting was known to government, document shows
• Katherine D'Entremont douses fire over commissionaire controversy

Roger Melanson told reporters on Friday that the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure insists that the Corps of Commissionaires meets the requirements of the Official Languages Act. But he wouldn't respond to evidence that his officials played a direct role in the events leading to Grant losing some of his work hours.

"We've never instructed," he said. "We've outsourced this service and we renewed the agreement in 2013 … We don't get involved in an H.R. issue like this. What we do get involved in, is that the laws of New Brunswick are respected."

When commissionaires greet people, they're required to greet people in a bilingual fashion.- Roger Melanson

Earlier this month, a senior manager with the Corps of Commissionaires told CBC News that Grant's hours were scaled back as a result of discussions with Melanson's department.

Grant was filling in at Chancery Place when he was unable to provide service in French to Official Languages Commissioner Katherine d'Entremont, who responded by launching an investigation into how provincial building security services comply with bilingualism requirements.

But Corps chief executive officer for New Brunswick and PEI,  Peter Kramers, said Grant's hours were cut after the province decided, during discussions of the Chancery incident, that his regular posting at the Centennial Building should have a higher bilingualism requirement.

And a June 16 email from the Corps to one of Melanson's officials, obtained through a Right to Information request, shows the government signed off on posting Grant to Chancery for a few days, even though he was unilingual.

"We do have a limited number of bilingual pers[onnel], however we could have supplied if asked," said the email to Gary Lynch, the executive director of facilities management at the department.

Kramers confirmed to CBC News that "the client was consulted before Commissionaire Grant was temporarily assigned to the Chancery reception desk."

But Melanson would not comment on any of that information on Friday.

He repeated several times that the Corps is a third-party contractor that has to obey the language law, but that makes its own staffing decisions.

"There's an agreement with them, plus there's a defined way of doing things," he said.

"When commissionaires greet people, they're required to greet people in a bilingual fashion. The Corps of Commissionaires needs to make their decisions based on the laws that exist in New Brunswick."

He repeatedly did not respond to specific questions about the June 16 email, and the change to bilingualism requirements at the Centennial Building.

"We never told the Corps of Commissionaires who has to do the job," he said. "We said the job has to be done according to the law."
