Information & Ethics committee  It's sixty-nine per cent within 30 days, 27% in 31 to 60 days, and the balance, in excess of 60 days, would be about 4% of our 15,292 requests.

Information & Ethics committee  It's the same. Of the thousands that we processed last year, we had 55 material privacy breaches. They were all reported to the OPC and to Treasury Board Secretariat, but also the individuals were notified by letter. If the mandatory reporting meant that we had to provide all of

Information & Ethics committee  I guess that's really more of a comment about the access to information legislation rather than about privacy. Is the solution to give them the option to apply under privacy and then it's free, or is the solution to amend the legislation on access to information? For instance, th

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, and I would just reiterate that we are trying to put—remember we talked about it last time—more information up online so people can go in and access their own cases. The more we can do that, the easier it will be.

Information & Ethics committee  Good luck with that. I didn't know, but you're recommending or somebody is recommending a review every five years. That will help, rather than every 30 years, to keep it broad and big-picture and to give us wiggle room. We like that too.

Information & Ethics committee  We wouldn't do it at the beginning, not at the twinkle-in-the-eye portion, but when we have something a little more substantive we can exchange on, we do.

Official Languages committee  Thank you very much. We are very pleased to be appearing before you. This is not the first time for some of us, and that is very good. If I understand correctly, this meeting is the last time you will be discussing francophone immigration.

Official Languages committee  We will try to answer all your questions. We are pleased to be appearing today before the committee in connection with your study on the roadmap and immigration in the francophone minority communities. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Stefanie Beck, Assistant Deputy Min

Official Languages committee  I think that, given the way its representatives address the question, they are seeing only certain parts of the department at the same time. What they need in fact is a vision of everything the department does, not only in Ottawa, but across the country and around the world. For

Official Languages committee  No, not at all. That is what you saw in the last meetings as well. The continuum, from start to finish, not only across the country, but throughout the immigration system, is complicated. Since it includes integration in Canada, it concerns several departments, all levels of gove

Official Languages committee  The meeting that is held twice a year involves everyone. Otherwise, we see them and talk to them every day.

Official Languages committee  That is the difference between a bilateral and a multilateral meeting.

Official Languages committee  We offer courses across the country in both official languages, and that is regardless of the province where the people are because they are offered everywhere.

Official Languages committee  The purpose of coordination is also to try to help others succeed. In fact, what you have to consider is the money we give under the roadmap and from our regular budgets, which we receive every year. The secretariat is very small, but it can help with this coordination effort. Y

Official Languages committee  We have not yet reached the targets. We are considering other things. For example, we know people are applying to the Express Entry pool and not necessarily considering a francophone community. We think we may make changes to the system. Since we have their email addresses, we
