Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank our witnesses today.
Mr. Barabé, my questions are for you. First, I'd like to thank you for your testimony. You've given us a number of disturbing insights into the state of translation in Canada and the devastating impact of the privatization these services.
In the last five years, the Translation Bureau has reduced its services to federal departments to meet the needs of Parliament.
Since the Translation Bureau no longer provides these services outside Parliament, do you know if any agency is responsible for ensuring that the government actually meets its obligation to ensure the equality of official languages in the machinery of government?
