Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome, commissioner, to you and your employees.
Thank you for being here today. I'm pleased that you finished your speech by talking about the athletes. That's a good example to follow. Thanks as well for taking into consideration in your report the study that was conducted last year about delays. That study was very important for us. You mentioned in your report that you were going to conduct a follow-up and ask the government to take measures. I also hope you'll ask it to be very specific and to include statistics in its report. Even though reasons are given, it's very important to prove what has been done. That will make it possible to make improvements.
You also mentioned the delays that have occurred under the Action Plan. Yesterday in Ottawa, there was a consultation on official languages. An expert in the field said he felt that the Action Plan was much better than the Roadmap. I'm not engaging in partisanship. I'm simply trying to find better solutions. Something must be done. Witnesses tell us that linguistic duality is not being respected. The two official languages aren't viewed as an added value. And yet people should understand that and especially see it.
What should be added to the Roadmap so that we can take giant steps and promote the official languages in Canada?
