Official Languages committee  It is indicated for each initiative. Exact figures are provided for expenditures that correspond to each of the elements of the action plan.

Official Languages committee  I would like to address two or three points that I hope may clarify matters. There is a management framework. Unlike in the first and second roadmaps, they were the subject of specific publications. In the first roadmap of 2008, more particularly, there was a separate document.

Official Languages committee  I will check to see whether that is possible. Cabinet has designated this document as confidential. That is why, for the moment, it has not been published.

Official Languages committee  As regards accountability—and this is true for all the roadmaps—you can consult the table included in the departmental performance reports. These reports present expenditures for each initiative. There is also—

Official Languages committee  The management framework implements the mechanisms. So they exist, play their role, and are accessible. In particular, they concern evaluation and annual financial accountability. The annual report now even includes accountability for roadmap activities. As you have no doubt noticed, a number of passages refer to roadmap initiatives.

Official Languages committee  We are examining the court challenges program with a view to completely restoring it. It included a language rights component, and so the idea is to restore it to something closer to its original mandate. Work is progressing on this issue. Announcements will be made by the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Canadian Heritage at the appropriate time.

Official Languages committee  Absolutely, we must work simultaneously on several aspects.

Official Languages committee  As regards access to justice, the work is being done by our colleagues at the Department of Justice. In the context of the next action plan, we have already begun to ask our colleagues from all departments, including Justice, to think about what could be done with existing funding.

Official Languages committee  That is a decision for the government's cabinet to make.

Official Languages committee  We are focusing more on putting access-to-justice measures in place to improve the experience of the judiciary and the entire interface with the judicial system, including providing information to the public. We are currently focusing on those aspects, but we are aware of this issue.

Official Languages committee  It's in March.

Official Languages committee  I can add a few comments on this. It is well understood by all parties concerned that there are big challenges to be resolved. Nobody has a magic solution. That's one thing to say, for starters. It's going to be a challenge, and this is known by everybody—departmental, community organizations, and everybody else.

Official Languages committee  As I was saying earlier, we provide second-language learning support to the provinces, mainly through immersion programs, which are very popular. We know that quite a lot of young people today are learning the second language. The latest official figures peg that number at 340,000, and it's on the rise, according to our most recent data.

Official Languages committee  The bulk of those efforts will come from our colleagues at the Department of Justice and from the people at the Canadian Judicial Council, who participate in judicial appointments. We are familiar with the report and following the issue. It's one of the things we talk about with our counterparts at the Department of Justice, in order to stay on top of official languages trends and progress, overall.

Official Languages committee  Yes.
