Mr. Rodriguez, when answering a question from Mr. D'Amours, I reported that we had been very surprised when the cuts were announced. Indeed, under the action plan accountability framework, it is very clear that official language communities must be consulted, whether on any new policies or on any changes made to policies that concern them. We were very surprised to see that for the most recent cuts, there had been no consultations.
On December 12th, 2006. See this statement in context.
