Madam Speaker, our government is determined to promote and foster the use of both official languages throughout Canada, especially in communications and service to the public.
The Minister of Canadian Heritage is mandated to work with the president of the Treasury Board to ensure that all federal services are provided in full compliance with the Official Languages Act. We are fully committed to achieving this objective across government.
I would again like to remind members that the National Energy Board has already taken the initiative of requesting French copies of these documents and that TransCanada agreed to this request.
We will ensure that Canadians have equal access to these documents in the language of their choice.
