I can certainly speak about telecommunications. Where it gets really important is when it comes to the 911 and alert system services, for example. As we see it, these are both priority services in emergencies, when the ability to understand messages clearly and communicate effectively is critical.
In both cases, we play a role with other stakeholders. The 911 service is essentially a bridge between the Canadian telecommunications system and responders. Responders, incidentally, come under provincial jurisdiction.
We make sure that telecommunications services travel across the right bridge in the right language. This is a priority for the 911 service.
We ensure the same thing when it comes to the alert system, including amber alerts or Environment Canada alerts. Once again, we hold open consultations to better regulate the availability of this service in both official languages.
