Thank you, Mr. Godin.
I want to point out that it is the Clerk of the Privy Council who is responsible for appointing deputy ministers, and not our committee clerk.
I've also asked Ms. Hurtubise-Loranger to determine exactly what the obligations of the Clerk of the Privy Council are as regards language issues. She will get back to us on that.
It might be interesting to have committee members sit the Public Service Commission's language tests and evaluate their abilities in the other language. We might have a few surprises. That would help us better understand the preparation that precedes these tests and do the same tests as public service employees. I have personally taken it myself under different circumstances.
We have now completed two rounds of questions. There is still Mr. D'Amours to deal with, but if there are no other questions from members, we can thank our witnesses and deal with the motions.
Thank you.
Perhaps we will be in contact with you in order to undergo the public service test and assess our own abilities in the other language. It would be the new oral test to be given in June, I believe.
Thank you for being here.
