Let me quickly add that Acfas has submitted briefs to various committees, including yours.
For the past two years, the Government of Canada has been working hard on the issue of science in French. Everything is documented. The needs are there and the solutions exist. When creating the capstone organization, it's important to avoid starting from scratch. The consultations have been carried out and the solutions exist. Under part VII of the Official Languages Act, all departments and agencies must now be asked to take positive and proactive measures when creating a new entity such as the capstone organization.
The government is creating the organization at the right time, even though consultations on all aspects, including funding and publication, have been under way for at least two years.
The work is done. There isn't any excuse.
