The Solicitor General of Canada also reports to Parlia- ment for the National Parole Board. The development and co-ordination of Ministry policy is the responsibility of a Secretariat that reports to the Deputy Solicitor General, Mr. Roger Tassé, Q.C. It was established early in the 1973-74 fiscal year, replacing what had been known as departmental headquarters. The heads of the three agencies, who have responsibility for administration and programs in their areas, report directly to the Solicitor General. Policies on police, corrections and parole are determined by the Solicitor General who is advised by the agency heads and the Deputy Solicitor General who together comprise the Ministry's Senior Policy Advisory Committee. The Secretariat has branches responsible for policy planning and program evaluation, police and secu- rity planning and analysis, research and systems development, and communication and consulta- tion. Each of the four branches is headed by an assistant deputy minister. 4 Bilingualism Program Policy Planning and Program Evaluation Branch Although the Secretariat of the Ministry of the The primary role of the Policy Planning and Program Solicitor General has only 199 positions filled, the Evalùation Branch is to promote the development of latest OLIS
