Thank you, Mr. Choquette!
I want to think that the two official languages are important enough for a beautiful consensus such as the one you have in your committee to continue. I'm reassured to know there's unanimous support for a beautiful upcoming announcement.
I also want to think that the scenario you describe is only hypothetical. Going back to your scenario, let's imagine things go badly. If the Official Languages Act was reworked so that a central agency was genuinely responsible for its administration, that would make life simpler in the event of court challenges because accountability would be much clearer. It would also reassure the Federal Court judge who might one day have to order it done, or not, to see that the legislator, Parliament, had clearly worked through the issue and intended that the act should actually be enforced.
One clear point emerges from the recent judgment by Judge Gascon, which appears at tab 8. He found that your predecessors didn't really want the act to have teeth. I want to think he's mistaken, and we're counting on you to prove it.
