I'm in the influence business. We do investigations. We also will provide advice to institutions. Part of the obligations under the act are that federal institutions have to take positive measures for the growth and development of minority language communities. I will sometimes informally have meetings with executive committees of departments to encourage them to consult more closely with minority language communities. On a more formal basis, if there's a decision that's been made where complaints have been laid, we do investigations and we will make recommendations as to how the department should better meet its responsibilities under part VII of the act.
I do not have a formal role in deciding how Canadian Heritage is going to spend money, but sometimes, informally, a community organization will talk to me. I have informal conversations with people and departments and will flag some of my worries, so there are informal dialogues that go on.
