Let's take another look at the special report on Air Canada. In this context, we mentioned some compliance mechanisms that could be useful to the commissioner.
I think this issue goes further. This shouldn't apply only to Air Canada, but also to other federal institutions. We need certain tools to follow up on our investigations.
Two weeks, I believe, after I started working in my position, I gave some interviews. I was asked many questions about the possible implementation of administrative monetary penalties, and I wasn't comfortable with the idea of imposing these types of measures. However, over time, I've realized that the act needs some teeth. Therefore, we must find mechanisms. Two mechanisms are often suggested. The first is to enter into binding agreements and the second is to impose administrative monetary penalties. It may be new for the Commissioner of Official Languages, but it's certainly not new for other agents of Parliament to have access to this type of compliance mechanism.
There's also talk of setting up an administrative tribunal to make things easier for complainants. The parliamentarians must determine what they want to give the commissioner.
Do we want to change the behaviours, as I said earlier? Have the behaviours changed in the past 50 years? In some cases, yes, and in other cases, no.
If we want this, we need incentives that will help us change the behaviours.
