Thank you.
There is the matter of third parties. The vast majority of departments, federal agencies and crown corporations have difficulty understanding their official language responsibilities. Just imagine what will happen when their responsibilities are transferred to third parties.
Have you already looked into this issue, or do you plan to? Heaven knows just how many third parties do business with the government. I will give you a very recent example. I have just come back from Newfoundland and Labrador where last weekend I attended the annual general meeting of the Fédération des francophones de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador. If we are talking about third parties, at the Ottawa airport, the McDonald-Cartier airport, I could lodge a complaint every 15 minutes just going from one company to another.
Will you do an in-depth analysis of this situation and come back to us on the matter so that we can put the heat on the federal government again to consider official languages when it transfers responsibilities?
