I think that, given the way its representatives address the question, they are seeing only certain parts of the department at the same time. What they need in fact is a vision of everything the department does, not only in Ottawa, but across the country and around the world. For example, we have people who are posted to foreign missions and in the various regions of Canada. That is part of the whole continuum. That in fact is what I would like to talk about.
I am going to turn the floor over to Mr. Viel so he can explain the situation to you. We see everything; in fact, the purpose or role of the Official Languages Secretariat is to coordinate it all.
I turn the floor over you, Mr. Viel.
