I don't know whether that is part of Deloitte & Touche's contract, but I do know that, whatever the consultants may do, it will be the responsibility of ministers and the Treasury Board to make the final decision. That is why I voiced my concerns. My concerns prompted me to remind ministers that when all these recommendations and budget cutting plans come forward, their job will be to assess them and to ensure that the communities or government programs that provide services in both official languages do not unfairly bear the brunt of the cuts.
