Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses here today.
I would also like to thank my colleague, Minister Duclos, for being here with us again. We saw one another not so long ago.
Before going into greater depth on an issue that I believe is very important, I'd like to speak about the French language, in response to Mr. Paul-Hus's questions.
Mr. Duclos, I would like you to confirm something. Is the Treasury Board required to determine whether official languages have been complied with every time the Government of Canada launches a program? I believe I heard your colleague say that it was rather the authorities in each department who were required to ensure that both official languages were complied with when creating programs.
