I'm aware of that. I also mentioned the collaboration required and the possibility of disseminating the data, because there may well be statistics that the department could produce on this. Even though that's the role of the commissioner's office, it's not up to them to do all the work. Their mandate covers only a portion of the bill. All of the purposes set out in section 5 indicate that some of the responsibility also rests with the Department of Canadian Heritage.
In terms of the appointment of the commissioner and directors, can you tell us which communities and organizations you consulted, since that aspect is also mentioned in the act? Did they comment on the department's recommendations?
Could you send this information to the committee?
Thank you.
