If I may, I'd like to answer the first question you asked Mr. Pelletier.
I'm thinking of the workforce development agreement with British Columbia, which is currently before the Federal Court of Appeal because the lower court decision was detrimental to communities.
I see two possible responses to the situation. The first would be to clarify section 25 of the act to say that provincial governments that sign agreements act on behalf of the federal government, which makes them responsible for accountability.
The second would be to include a provision in the act to allow communities that feel their province has violated the linguistic conditions of a federal-provincial agreement to seek recourse. The problem is that communities themselves do not sign these agreements. Either they should be included in signing the agreements—which governments may not be open to—or the act must provide a mechanism for third parties that believe provisions directly affecting them have been violated to seek recourse. That would enable communities themselves to hold provinces accountable for violations of an agreement.
That's my answer to the first question.
