Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good evening, Minister, and good evening to the officials who are with you.
We can speak in French, Mr. Minister. That's interesting.
I'd like you to speak about a matter that directly concerns the Treasury Board.
We know that the Treasury Board approves funding for new programs like the funds for the WE Charity. The secretariat's "Guidance for Drafters of Treasury Board Submissions" document states in black and white that submissions must contain: "Where official languages implications are foreseen, an Official Languages Appendix is required to demonstrate compliance with" applicable statutes and regulations. It goes on to say, "In all circumstances, you must conduct an Official Languages Impact Analysis."
When I asked the question last week, you did not have the answer. Can you or one of your officials tell me whether this was done for the WE Charity?
