Official Languages committee  It's the role of the Official Languages Secretariat. However, as I said earlier in my address, it isn't equipped well enough. We must ensure that it is given the tools and the resources necessary to play that role.

There is definitely a coordination role in relation to the Roadmap, a central coordination role that would help clarify matters for everyone. Where

Official Languages committee  I'll answer your question very briefly: absolutely, there is collaboration among the organizations. All the organizations that represent the provinces and territories as well as those of the sectoral organizations, sit on the board of directors of the FCFA. As president of the FC

Official Languages committee  I would just like to repeat that I have a great deal of respect for the work that is being done here by all members, as well as for those who were here before you, and I hope the next committee will have that same respect for you.

For example, the Treasury Board Secretariat already existed, but it's been put here. So it's entirely funded by the Roadmap. However, it was already there and it was already

Official Languages committee  If I may add something, the Community Strategic Plan is also adjusted to the overall development plans. So we have a big plan for the community as a whole.
