Very well, thank you.
I would note first that my colleague Ms. Boyer clearly identified the impact of expanding powers. At Treasury Board, we are primarily responsible for parts IV, V and VI of the Official Languages Act.
I wish to clarify something about how this amendment would expand Treasury Board's powers. In practical terms, in addition to having the power to recommend regulations, develop policies and directives, and monitor how federal institutions live up to their obligations, Treasury Board would be responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of programs for the implementation of the act. Ultimately, that would mean that Treasury Board would be responsible for establishing policies and directives, but also for monitoring compliance with them.
