That's for parliamentarians to decide. It would involve a restructuring of the organization. It would mean having tribunal-like authorities. My own sense is that I am not the person to preside over a quasi-judicial tribunal. I have never asked for that power, and I'm trying to use all the powers that are now available to me under the act. If Parliament were to decide that the Commissioner of Official Languages should become the chair of a quasi-judicial tribunal, they would obviously need someone who had the professional training to play that role.
