I'm admittedly not close enough to it to make a full judgement, but I am still pretty skeptical of this notion.
I know and know of quite a few people who speak almost no French for whom the language requirements of a bilingual position were "bent" for them. This includes family members BTW.
OTOH I don't know a single francophone who works in the federal public service who could be said to be unilingual in French.
