Absolutely.
In 2009, when the French language services commissioner looked into the justice sector, he discovered that French-language services had to be improved. Following that recommendation, the Rouleau—Le Vay committee was struck to look into access to justice in French and to determine what could be done in that regard. The committee made 17 recommendations to improve services, including the recommendation that French-language services be offered by the courts.
Following another study by Judge Julie Thorburn, the purpose of which was to determine how those various recommendations could be implemented, a pilot project was conducted at the Ottawa Court House. The staff of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General was trained to offer its services in French automatically. In various institutions, people were probably already greeting you with "Hello, bonjour." That's the principle of active offer.
The pilot project was launched in May 2015, and the report was issued in 2017. It was discovered that active offer was a success all down the line, and there was no doubt about it. Madam, thank you for noting that active offer is directly linked to Commissioner Boileau's recommendation. That pilot project would not have seen the light of day had it not been for the commissioner's 2009 recommendation that access to justice issues be given more consideration.
