Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for the schedule you've just distributed. However, I see that no representatives from the departments will be appearing before the winter break. I'm a bit disappointed by that. I would have thought it would be useful to hear from the representatives of at least one or two departments to ask them questions quite directly about what they're doing so that we can have an idea of what's being done and to prevent any duplication of work.
Would it be possible to arrange that? I leave it in your hands.
Mr. Chairman, I'm very pleased to see that my colleague Mr. Gourde has been inspired by my resolution. I will therefore be introducing the motion in public.
I'm essentially moving that we ask the Department of Canadian Heritage, which is responsible for coordinating the mid-term evaluation of the Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality, to make its study public and to send it to us, obviously, once it's available. It's being done and, according to the Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality, it should be complete in March 2012.
The motion is before you, Mr. Chairman. I move it. I will read it, and that way it will be very clear.
That the Committee respectfully request the Department of Canadian Heritage provide the mid-term report of the Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality 2008-2013: Acting for the Future as part of its study on the evaluation of the Roadmap: improving programs and service delivery, and that this report be made public.
The motion is also in French. I am formally moving it.
