I completely agree with you. Many want to take advantage of the 50th anniversary of the Official Languages Act to shine a brighter light on official languages and to hold a national forum that brings together a range of stakeholders, from prime ministers and commissioners to members of the public. Promoting linguistic duality—and you stressed the importance of this at the beginning of your remarks—is also a matter of leadership among those at the top. For decades, prime ministers have been silent on official languages during national forums. It's a topic that rarely makes it onto the agenda, and that is why it’s so important to keep promoting it.
Thank you both.
