That is what I do not understand. You would think that Treasury Board expresses ideas, states what has to be done in a very gentle manner, but it will do nothing more than prepare a report in the end. I asked the minister a question earlier. He said that the act is the act and that it has to be complied with. When a non-bilingual Auditor General was appointed, the Commissioner of Official Languages said that the act had been violated.
The act is the act, but it is not being complied with. If we did it, we would not need to speak to each other today. That is not our fault, Mr. Tremblay. The department has a mandate to enforce the act. You work in that department. Do you feel you have power when you work with them, or are there just horizontal discussions? We see the moon set, and then it's a sunny new day.
