Okay, I will go faster.
The commissioner's recommendations are not binding, but in the next official languages act, at a minimum, the duty of federal institutions to respond to the recommendations in writing should be codified and describe how the federal institution intends to comply, or not, with the recommendation. This is an important step that is currently missing. Right now, federal institutions can respond, but they are not required to do so.
My second comment pertains to the second mechanism, namely referral to the Federal Court. I would do away with that and replace it with a newly created administrative tribunal. Others have made that recommendation and I agree that it would be an excellent idea. An administrative mechanism could be faster and more accessible. It could have powers that would be very satisfactory for complainants and could also support the commissioner in his duties. It would be complementary to the commissioner's role but would serve a distinct function.
I would be pleased to talk about other recommendations with you in due course. Since I don't have much time, I will stop here.
