As regards commitment to and awareness of linguistic duality within the department, I would simply note that the department recently sent an invitation to northern Quebec artist Elisapie Isaac. She made an extremely stimulating presentation on the richness and importance of our official languages, which, in her case, also included the Innu languages.
The Official Languages Secretariat has made a commitment in this regard and is determined to increase awareness throughout the department, with the help of our official languages champion, Assistant Deputy Minister Stefanie Beck, of the importance of linguistic duality and official languages and of the way they align with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the Official Languages Act.
