Thank you for that.
Madame Adam, could I turn to your excellent brief and explore some of these powers that I admit I did not actually know you possessed in your former life. I hope you're feeling as powerful today as you were then.
I didn't know, for example, that the official languages commissioner could file remedy proceedings in the Federal Court. That was quite an astonishing revelation, and I would say quite a power that was invested in that particular office. I didn't know you had intervener status in any court proceedings. You speak directly here about the advancement of English and French in Canadian society. You use words like “the promotion” of the act itself--the Official Languages Act. Then finally, the position has the power to review regulations made under the Official Languages Act prior to their, I assume...what, being passed by Parliament? How does that work in practice?
