Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In the renewed mandate letter that the minister received this summer, we are still pleased to note that the Prime Minister requires her to begin an examination towards modernizing the act. However, the mandate letter does not say whether this will happen this year, next year or after the next election.
Could you, who work on this every day in the department, tell us what is happening right now? Could you tell this committee whether the examination has begun? Is the department currently working on launching, undertaking, starting this examination, in short, moving towards modernizing the Official Languages Act?
