Horizontal Initiatives
Name of Horizontal Initiative: Roadmap for Canada's Linguistic Duality 2008-13: Acting for the Future
Name of lead department(s): 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): $1,109.8 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 outcome(s):
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:
- Enhanced capacity of Canadians (English‑speaking in Quebec and French-speaking across Canada) to live and work in vibrant communities in the official language of choice.
- Increased proportion of Canadians who are aware of the benefits and have the necessary tools to appreciate linguistic duality.
- Strengthening capacity of the Government of Canada relating to official languages.
Eight immediate outcomes:
- Continued and improved access to justice services in both official languages.
- Continued and improved access to health services in both official languages.
- Improved social and economic development of official‑language minority communities.
- Strengthened capacity of language industries.
- Improved knowledge and use of both official languages.
- Improved access to cultural expressions of both linguistic groups.
- Reinforced coordination for the Official Languages Program (OLP).
- Reinforced linguistic duality in federal public service.
Governance structure(s):
The Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages is responsible for the coordination of the implementation of the Roadmap. The Official Languages Secretariat (OLS) (Canadian Heritage) supports the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages in this implementation and is responsible for the coordination of the accountability of the Roadmap. The OLS especially gathers financial
and non-financial information from the partners to present planning and reporting of the initiatives of the Roadmap.
This function of the OLS is established in the Horizontal Results-based Management and Accountability Framework which also presents 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 the implementation of the
Roadmap.
The OLS will also support the governance of the Official Languages Program through various mechanisms and committees: the Committee of Assistant Deputy Ministers on Official Languages, the Assistant Deputy Ministers on Official Languages Executive Committee, and the Official Languages Program Interdepartmental Coordination Steering Committee.
Planning Highlights:
2012-13 is the last year of the Roadmap’s implementation. A number of initiatives, such as the “Youth Initiative” from Canadian Heritage, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s study and the “Expanding Universities' Access to Language Learning” initiative from the Canada School of Public Service, are already wrapped up, whereas a
large number of other initiatives are on their way to completion.
As planned, in 2012-13, the individual summative evaluations of the Roadmap’s initiatives will be finalized. They are conducted separately by each partner’s evaluation unit. It is also planned that the horizontal summative evaluation of the Roadmap, started in 2012-13 by Canadian Heritage’s Office of the Chief Audit Evaluation Executive, will be finalized in 2012-13.
In 2012-13, preparing the follow-up to the Roadmap is continuing in order to support the development and linguistic vitality of official-language minority communities and the promotion of official languages.
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.
