Very well, that's clear. You had an appointment with them, but they had already made their decision.
Does that not show a lack of respect toward official languages and the commissioner of official languages, especially since they knew you were investigating?
Air Canada also shows a great lack of respect for official languages. You have said that Air Canada is the body that breaches the Official Languages Act the most. We learned this morning of the Supreme Court ruling, wherein the court says that there have been too many excuses and that it is beginning to be concerned by the fact that the government or the institutions subject to the Official Languages Act only seem to have to say “I'm sorry, I don't speak French”. That is almost the situation.
You are the right person to talk to us about this “I'm sorry”. The Conservative government is showing a lack of respect toward you, Mr. Commissioner, who are an officer of Parliament and the watchdog of official languages in Canada. Under the law, you report to Parliament, and not to the government. There is a blatant lack of respect at this time.
