View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 436 and 437 together.
Each business unit within my Department and each public body and agency funded by my Department is responsible for ensuring that it carries out its functions in accordance with the Official Languages Act 2003. Expenditure incurred in 2004 in meeting this obligation is included as part of the overall administrative and operational costs incurred under the various subheads of the budgets concerned.
