Official Languages committee  No, I can't say. An evaluation of the basic official language issues is conducted through the Management Accountability Framework. All the departments are evaluated through that accountability framework. All the departments are subject to the MAF.

Official Languages committee  By the Treasury Board.

Official Languages committee  All right, thank you.

Official Languages committee  I can officially say that it's part of what we call the MAF—and I really apologize for just using the English acronym. As part of what we do every year through the MAF, we report on the official languages of work and on what we do to—

Official Languages committee  Yes.

Official Languages committee  The coast guard used to report to the Department of Transport, but it has reported to us since 1995.
