I am pleased with your answers. I understand them very well.
I do not want to be mean-spirited, but the documents that you submitted this morning... Mr. Bélanger said it earlier: the legislation was amended in 2005. This is now the year 2011. Six years later.
Mr. Morency, you have been in the department for a long time. Now—and I am using the word “now” because that is what I understood you two have said—you want to assume this leadership role, within the department, to ensure that French or bilingual services are offered right across Canada.
Is this type of leadership new or was it already a part of your department?
