Carsten Quell Executive Director, Official Languages Centre of Excellence, People and Culture, Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer, Treasury Board Secretariat

My name is Carsten Quell. I am the executive director of the Centre of Excellence for Official Languages. I represent the Treasury Board Secretariat.

The Treasury Board Secretariat's role in official languages includes ensuring communications and services in both languages, respect for language of work, and equitable participation of English and French speakers in the public service.

The role of our centre is primarily to support the 200 or so federal institutions in their responsibility to implement the Official Languages Act.

I am here today to support my colleagues at the Department of Canadian Heritage, who have primary responsibility for Bill C‑13.
