Since our time is limited, I encourage you to answer a little more quickly.
With regard to Service Canada, as far as I know, the intention was to work jointly with provincial and municipal authorities. It was modelled somewhat on what was being done in Winnipeg, offering stopping points to enable citizens to enter and be served by people in the country's two official languages for any need, whether it was municipal, provincial or federal. However, I don't believe they were going to transfer employees to provincial authorities.
You also referred to section 41 of the Official Languages Act, which I know quite well. There's an obligation for the Crown to consult the communities. Were the AFO or regional ACFOs consulted in any way on the transfer of Service Canada to the provinces?
