Because it is currently before the court, I will respect their independence, but the impact of the judgment concerned me and still does.
That is why I decided to send a letter to all my cabinet colleagues, so that I could assure myself that they still support more positive measures from the government. In fact, for our official language minority communities to really have some vitality, we need Part VII to be strong. The Supreme Court tells us that our interpretation of Part VII must be broad and liberal.
I will be happy to continue this conversation both in the context of the modernization of the Official Languages Act and of any other instrument needed to maintain Part VII and the vitality of official language minority communities.
