I would say that both my role and that of my colleagues at the secretariat have been hamped up. Nevertheless, I say that bearing in mind that there is a subtle difference between our roles. My colleagues at the secretariat coordinate all official languages activities, while a section of my team is responsible for supporting the minister and implementing measures relating to section 42 of the Official Languages Act, in other words coordinating the way in which federal institutions handle the new responsibilities conferred upon them by Bill S-3, the bill that you mentioned.
Our roles existed prior to the amendments to the act, but our responsibilities have increased due to far greater contact and dialogue with all federal institutions, including the Department of Justice, which acts in an advisory capacity on this front. There has been a change not so much in the nature as in the intensity of the education and coordination work that we carry out.
