Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will be sharing this question period with Mr. Godin. I'm going to ask my questions for the first four minutes. Then I'll give the floor to Mr. Godin.
Thank you again for the warm welcome. This is my second time on the committee. It's true that it takes a lot of courage to learn a second language. Even if I make mistakes, I still speak it.
I'm here as the member of Parliament for Calgary Midnapore, but also as the Official Opposition critic for Treasury Board. So I'll continue with some of the questions Ms. Ashton asked.
Mr. Théberge, several departments are responsible for official languages: Canadian Heritage, Treasury Board, the Department of Justice and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, not to mention your office. Do you think it would be better to centralize power at Treasury Board to improve enforcement of the act?
