I have to say that, until 2019, my office could only make recommendations. That was, I think, the biggest issue with the system, because for years, complaints resulted in simply a recommendation. The institution could ignore it unless my office took them to court.
Now we are issuing orders, and if they don't agree with the orders, they have to take it to court. What I see, however, is that sometimes they don't say that they don't agree with it, but they don't do it. I don't have the authority to make sure that they comply with the order. Imagine.... They don't comply with the act, but they don't comply with the order as well.
This committee needs to look at providing a process by which the orders can be certified in court. Then you can go to the institutions with this order. It's something that is now in the bill for the Official Languages Act. They are changing the Commissioner of Official Languages' authority. They actually put a certification provision in there, and I think it's been done for the Privacy Commissioner as well.
It exists. It's something that is there. I asked for it for Bill C-58. It was not given to me. However, we do have the orders and we publish those, so that is something that is also very helpful.
