Our Partners
By the very nature of its mandate, the Secretariat must work in cooperation with various partners to successfully achieve the common policy represented by the Official Languages Program.
A concerted effort between the various levels of government and the involvement of official-language minority communities are key factors for the successful implementation of the Official Languages Strategies.
