First, I think Canadians would be much less reluctant to go to such a tribunal than to the Federal Court. Second, if the act mandated the Commissioner of Official Languages to use knowledge—particularly the institutional memory of the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages regarding certain naughty students who shall remain nameless, but whom you all know—and documentation as evidence in court, this would give new strength to the Official Languages Act.
This would send a tangible message, particularly to those naughty students, but also to all federal institutions, that the Official Languages Act is to be taken seriously and that there will be consequences for non-compliance with the act.
