The Treasury Board is responsible for Part V of the act. We were definitely involved in drafting this provision.

I can confirm that we were aware of the impact of this provision on Quebec, because when "prescribed" regions are mentioned, that's a reference to prescribed bilingual areas in Ontario and Quebec, and they cover the entire province of New Brunswick. So yes, it also includes Quebec.
