Part III of the estimates is the Report on Plans and Priorities. As regards official languages in Canada, the Commissioner sets out the order of priorities and identifies any shortcomings. So he can say that he wants a budget of $5 next year in order to make up for the shortfall. I believe that up until now, we all agree.
The reason why I feel it is important to invite the minister afterwards is because we need to ask her what has been planned in developing her program, since the Commissioner has identified shortcomings in specific areas. I would like to know what she intends to develop in order to overcome the gaps the Commissioner has identified.
