I want to be sure I understand your answer.

So the bill is drafted by employees of the department in question; in this instance it's Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, and employees of the Department of Justice. All these people work together to draft the bill in both official languages. However, as I understand it, the language in which it is first drafted depends on the language mainly used in the room. If there are more anglophones, they'll be drafted in English and then immediately translated into French.

Is that right?
