I'll start, then I'll give the floor to my colleague.
Several elements have been raised.
First, it's clear that we're trying to strengthen governance. This is done in several ways in Bill C‑13, including formally specifying the role played by the Minister of Canadian Heritage, and strengthening the powers of the Treasury Board, as well as those of the Commissioner of Official Languages, who determines when we're in error and who receives complaints. This is all part of governance.
I know that several stakeholders have called for the President of the Treasury Board to play a different role than the one the government has bestowed upon her. However, it doesn't work that way. There is no enabling legislation that allows the Treasury Board President to tell other departments that they are in error.
The Financial Administration Act specifies the role of the Treasury Board president. As you said earlier, when funds are submitted for approval to the cabinet committee, to the Treasury Board, the president can ask whether official languages have been taken into account. Treasury Board funding might be different. However, the Treasury Board president doesn't play the role you'd like her to play.
I'll ask my colleague Carsten Quell to specify the things that the Treasury Board president could do.
