Name of Horizontal Initiative: Roadmap for Canada’s Linguistic Duality 2008-13: Acting for the Future
Name of lead department: Canadian Heritage
Lead department program activity: Official Languages
Start date of the Horizontal Initiative: April 1, 2008
End date of the Horizontal Initiative: March 31, 2013
Total federal funding allocation (start to end date): $1,110.10 M
Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):
The Roadmap for Canada’s Linguistic Duality 2008-13: Acting for the Future (Roadmap) is a Government of Canada policy statement that includes a number of initiatives to strengthen and promote linguistic duality. Fifteen federal institutions have received funds for sectoral programs and activities related to official languages. The Roadmap contributes to the attainment of a strategic
outcome for Canadian Heritage (Canadians share, express and appreciate their Canadian identity) and to the Government of Canada’s outcome (A diverse society that promotes linguistic duality and social inclusion).
Two of key components of the Roadmap are the implementation of an accountability framework and a coordinated government-wide approach to official languages. The Roadmap is a component of the Official Languages Program (OLP), as defined and approved by the Committee of Deputy Ministers on Official Languages in December 2004.
Web site: http://www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/slo-ols/strat-eng.cfm
Shared outcomes:
Three levels of outcomes have been established.
Ultimate outcome: Canadians enjoy the benefits of linguistic duality; live and work in communities that reflect Canadian values with respect to the use of English and French; and have access to government services in the official language of choice.
Three intermediate outcomes:
Eight immediate outcomes:
Governance structure:
The Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages is responsible for the implementation of the Roadmap. The Official Languages Secretariat (OLS) (Canadian Heritage) supports the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. With respect to roles and responsibilities, the OLS is responsible for developing and coordinating the results of the Roadmap. The OLS ensures that all
information (financial and non-financial) needed is gathered and that the content of all logic models of the Roadmap’s structure is taken into consideration. The OLS is also responsible for the complete implementation and the accountability framework for the Roadmap. This role was given to the OLS by the partners through the development of a the Horizontal Results-based Management and
Accountability Framework for the Roadmap, which outlines the activities and results structure, the governance structure, as well as the roles and responsibilities of departments and different interdepartmental committees, while also identifying the relevant operational issues concerning its horizontal implementation. The OLS also support the governance of the OLP through various mechanisms
and committees.
A governance structure has been established to support the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and to ensure that the Roadmap provides results for Canadians, the Committee of Assistant Deputy Ministers on Official Languages (CADMOL) was created. This committee acts on behalf of all federal departments, agencies and organizations, partners in the Roadmap in a variety of ways:
it supports the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and all ministers who have responsibilities under the Official Languages Act (OLA); it ensures leadership for managing the OLP, including the Roadmap, by making decisions and overseeing the coordination of partners’ actions; it guides the implementation of the Horizontal Results-based Management and
Accountability Framework (HRMAF) and oversees the evaluation of the Roadmap. During CADMOL meetings, departments having specific responsibilities under the OLA (for instance, Canadian Heritage, Justice Canada, and the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer) report on achievements that are specific to their mandate and describe the challenges and issues related to these
responsibilities.
Three interdepartmental committees support CADMOL by providing recommendations. Firstly, the Interdepartmental Policy Committee (IPC) provides an information-sharing forum between partners in order to present a joint approach to strategic issues regarding the OLP. The Interdepartmental Management Committee for the Official Languages Program (IMCOLP) seeks to ensure that interdepartmental
coordination of the OLP is formalized and structured, most notably by assessing the implementation of the OLP and strengthening the accountability process. The Coordinating Committee on Official Languages Research (CCOLR) ensures that official-languages research is coordinated. The committees may create working groups as needed to complete specific projects. For example, the Working Group on
the HRMAF Revision (Working Group) was created in the summer of 2008.
Planning Highlights:
For the year 2011-12, the implementation of the Roadmap continues in respect of the Horizontal Results-based Management and Accountability Framework released in September 2009. The coordination of the implementation is facilitated by the formal governance structure in place. The Committee of Assistant Deputy Ministers on Official Languages and its support committees, as well as
various interdepartmental groups ensure that the different strategies allow for monitoring, measuring and evaluation of the results expected for 2011-12.
A horizontal evaluation of the Roadmap is scheduled for 2011-12 and 2012-13. This evaluation will be lead by the Office of the Chief Audit and Evaluation Executive of the Department of Canadian Heritage. All the partners of the Roadmap will participate and contribute on a pro rata basis depending on their allocated funding within the Roadmap to an estimated amount of $300,000 to make the
evaluation.
Ultimate outcome: Canadians enjoy the benefits of linguistic duality; live and work in communities that reflect Canadian values with respect to the use of English and French; and have access to government services in the language of choice.
Intermediate outcome 1: Enhanced capacity of Canadians (English-speaking in Quebec and French-speaking across Canada) to live and work in vibrant communities in the language of choice.
Immediate outcome 1.1: Continued and improved access to justice services in both official languages.
