View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 359 and 360 together.
While estimates of the cost of implementing the Official Languages Act 2003 have not been prepared to date by my Department or by the offices and agencies associated with it, my Department does not expect that significant additional costs will arise in this regard and expects that any costs which do arise will be met from within existing resources.
