We have not spoken with any experts who have worked in this area.
But to restate the position taken by the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada, it's extremely important for things to be clear so that we don't end up with a lottery in terms of knowing whether things are only going to be done by half, completely, or not at all. Another government, for example, might have a different stance on it, which would send us back to square one.
According to the position taken by the FCFA, with which we agree, the coordination and implementation of the act should rest entirely with the Treasury Board, and the paragraph concerning the delegation of its powers should be removed. This wouldn't mean that the Treasury Board couldn't consult departments like Canadian Heritage on the work to be done, but we firmly believe that the Treasury Board should be the central agency.
