The Commissioner of Official Languages, Dr. Dyane Adam, is proud to announce the appointment of Claude Haché as her new representative in the Atlantic office.
Mr. Haché has been working with the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages for more than 20 years. He first worked at the Atlantic regional office as an investigator and liaison officer.

The role of the representative includes developing a dialogue with the institutions subject to the Official Languages Act and the organizations that play a key role in the growth of the Atlantic region’s official language communities.
