<b><u>2018-2019 Annual Report on Official Languages</u></b><br>
<br>
<br>
As the year 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the Official Languages Act (the Act), we are pleased to provide you with a link to the 2018-2019 Annual Report on Official Languages, tabled in Parliament on October 9, 2020.<br>
The report provides an account of the governance and implementation of the official languages programs in all federal institutions; it addresses Part IV (Communications with and Service to the Public), Part V (Language of Work) and Part VI (Participation of English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians) of the Act.<br>
As Official Languages Champions and Persons Responsible for Official Languages, you play a key role in ensuring that official languages are at the very heart of how your institution serves and communicates with Canadians across the country and abroad. It is important for institutions subject to the Act to integrate official languages into how decisions are made and actions taken, especially in situations like the current pandemic.<br>
We trust you will find the information in this report useful for managing the official languages program within your institutions. The launch of this report provides an opportunity to engage your deputy head and management group in reviewing your institution’s official languages performance.<br>
Please do not hesitate to contact us at OLReview-BilanLO@tbs-sct.gc.ca, should you require additional information on the Annual Report.<br>
