Mr. Chairman, I am not sure whether it would be more appropriate to address this question to Ms. Tremblay.
A number of states apply official language laws. In Canada, at least one province does. I'm thinking in particular of countries such as Belgium, Switzerland and Ukraine. I have always been interested in the incentive side of things, as opposed to coercion. Perhaps the time has come to look at this, given that, for once, the report of the Commissioner of Official Languages is not full of horror stories.
I'd like to know whether you have looked at that aspect of the issue in relation to legislation passed by other countries. How effective are coercive measures as compared to incentives? What recommendations can you make to Canadian parliamentarians in that regard?
