Official Languages committee  Hosting the games is a big responsibility. It's too big for one federal department. It's too big for one level of government. You have to work together in a collaborative way with all your partners to achieve your objectives around the games. The government recognized this and wanted to work early with the games organizers' bid committee to make sure they had the full support of the Government of Canada, and as Madam Mounier said, questions of official languages were top of mind when we were doing our preparations for the games.
