<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">The purpose of this vignette is to clarify and explain certain concepts, articles, mechanisms and roles related to official languages. In this first issue, we suggest that you compare the roles and responsibilities of the key actors who have a role to play in matters of official languages in federal institutions – namely, the Persons Responsible for Official Languages (PROLs), the Coordinators responsible for the implementation of section 41 of the ''Official Languages Act'', and the Official Languages Champions.

<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif">In closing, the roles of the key players responsible for official languages are complementary and their functions may vary from one institution to another. Moreover, some individuals may be called upon to play more than one role, depending on the institutions.
