Official Languages committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Incidentally, earlier I cited an example of what we've done with minority francophone youths. But we're doing the same kind of work with anglophone youths in Quebec, in the greater Montreal area. As I said earlier, first we try to analyze the needs and to ensure that, if there's a need, the service will be made available to that minority.

Official Languages committee  I'm going to give you an example. Once again, it concerns the transfer payments program as it concerns the National Crime Prevention Strategy. We ensure, in particular, that for every project developed by a community organization in the field, an analysis is conducted to determine whether that service is already being made available to the francophone minority, for example, in the neighbourhood, town or area where the service will be offered, and whether, if it is not, that constitutes a need.

Official Languages committee  Same thing.

Official Languages committee  To be more specific, I use the language more appropriate to the case. It will be English or French, but rarely both at the same time.

Official Languages committee  No, I don't have that difficulty.

Official Languages committee  I don't systematically use French all the time because there are circumstances that simply lend themselves more to the direct use of English, given the nature of the subject that addressed, for example.

Official Languages committee  Do I have that difficulty?

Official Languages committee  First, we're very much aware at Public Safety Canada of the importance, and even the obligation, first to get to know better, and second to consult the official language minority communities. To date, for example, at the National Crime Prevention Centre, we held an initial forum in 2009 in the context of a network that we formed with Justice Canada.
