The departmental team is led by France Pégeot, Assistant Deputy Minister, Regional Operations Sector. Her mission is to make official languages more visible in the institution. She must also ensure respect for the following official languages obligations:

• institutional bilingualism (service to the public, language of work and equitable participation of English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians)
• development of the official language minority communities (OLMCs)

Margaret Meroni, Director, Policy, Analysis and Intelligence, is the senior manager responsible for Official Language Minority Communities programming.

The National Coordination Team, Official Language Minority Communities, oversees the implementation of Section 41 of the Official Languages Act (OLA) and coordinates initiatives for OLMCs. It provides a liaison between departmental managers, other federal departments and national OLMC representatives.
