Thank you very much.
This is an important question.
As President of the Treasury Board, I'm responsible for the coordination and good governance of the act. My department sets policies and monitors compliance, ensuring institutions meet obligations in serving the public service. Bilingualism in the serving of the public is a core of the mandate, and supporting the minority communities is also a part of it. Notably, I'm responsible for part IV and part V. You talked about part VII, the participation of English- and French-speaking Canadians and promoting equal opportunities for employment and advancement for both official languages communities within the public service.
I am, as President of the Treasury Board, committed to ensuring that the Official Languages Act is implemented fully across the public service. That is my goal. As we said, in the public service, 96% of employees are bilingual. To further respond to your technicality, I'm going to ask Bill Matthews, secretary, to highlight a bit more to fill you in on our leadership and implementation of the policy.
