Declaration of Emergency committee  I don't think it would be appropriate for us to weigh in on your deliberations and your recommendations, but we would welcome whatever recommendations you have. I would reiterate that we would like to work with committees, and I think the goal we should have as a government is

Declaration of Emergency committee  No, and perhaps it's because I have not explained it well. The $16 million is for the exhibits that are on the website that we've been talking about that are currently in one language and not in both. That is the cost to translate those. We have not come up with the cost to tran

Declaration of Emergency committee  Yes, that would be whatever title they have saved it as. My colleague Alexandra has been looking through them. We see an email to so-and-so or a document about X, so they tend to have enough information that I think you can get a sense of what they are. In addition, we can give

Declaration of Emergency committee  That is our goal, to give you a menu of options and allow you to pick, if you are interested in a particular person who submitted documents.

Declaration of Emergency committee  We can do it in a matter of a couple of weeks, we think. I'm loath to give an estimate on behalf of the translation bureau, but we're talking about 152,000 times 10 or 15 words. I don't know if they want to dare give an approximate—

Declaration of Emergency committee  I can't speak to the translation piece, but for the PCO piece, I think in two to three weeks, easily, we can provide this, and we can provide it as it's available. The government pieces we can do very quickly—

Declaration of Emergency committee  I cannot speak to whether we have official languages complaints related to that specifically, so I won't say nobody reacted to it. As I understand it, that was in keeping with the Evidence Act and not offside with the Official Languages Act, as it's been explained to me. As men

Declaration of Emergency committee  We were absolutely concerned with both official languages. I remember the work that went into the commission of inquiry's final report. You may recall that the commission had a timeline. Unlike most commissions, where there's an ability to extend the work, there was a very firm t

Declaration of Emergency committee  That is correct.

Declaration of Emergency committee  I cannot speak to whether he's been briefed on this specific issue. He has a parliamentary affairs team that would be briefed, but I think it would be more likely that the government House leader would be briefed on this type of issue.
