Thank you.

I'd like to continue along the same lines.

As you well know, it was suggested at one point that the Privy Council Office, rather than the Treasury Board, might be made responsible for the proper administration of the act. I believe it was the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada that discussed that.

Can you or your officials explain to me why it's important that the Treasury Board ensure compliance with the Official Languages Act in all departments?
