Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, deputy minister, and thanks to all the witnesses.
I have two questions of concern to me. First, with regard to your obligations under Part VII of the act, I want to make sure you are familiar with them. Could you tell me when you started developing the action plan and when it was completed?
Also, on page 2 of the action plan, with regard to Part VII, the last two entries are: "Consult official languages minority communities," and "Continue to identify our official language minority communities." I wonder what that means. How do you continue consulting those communities?
As you know, you have an obligation as a department under the act. First, could you tell me when you began developing this action plan and, even more important, how you consult the official language minority communities and how you are continuing discussions with them?
