Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Regarding third party agreements, the government wants to do promotion, but it is clear that it really is promotion and not a commitment to ensure respect for both official languages. In point 4.2.1 of his report, concerning governance of official languages, the Commissioner of Official Languages makes the following recommendation:
That Canadian Heritage strengthen provisions pertaining to services provided by third parties and establish provisions for sponsors to ensure the equal treatment of both language groups.
Do you agree with that statement? Does the government have a role to play in this regard?
