Mr. Chair, every ministry within the government, I understand, has a multiculturalism champion who is a senior official appointed to ensure that the department is acting in a manner consistent with both the spirit and the letter of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act.
In terms of the Department of Canadian Heritage, I and my secretary do not deal with the entire department. I simply deal with multiculturalism programs but I can tell the member that in every department we have such person who I think does a very adequate job.
