I think the current mandate is a bit limiting. It's not easy to do it. However, we have always felt that the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages was an extremely important tool in promoting linguistic duality. The present Commissioner, like his predecessors, is someone who brings people together, a person who can make everyone understand the realities of the various communities. He's in a perfect position to do that.
We believe he should play a greater role in this regard. The Commissioner's watchdog role is important, but we feel that his mandate isn't limited to that. It's important to promote linguistic duality across Canada, and I think the Office of the Commissioner is in a very good position to do that.
