We relied largely on the briefs that have been submitted. It isn't our responsibility to visit each of our communities to consult them. In our opinion, this work is the responsibility of the government.
We got the briefs and statements that our members had made before the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages as part of its study on the modernization of the act. That is a large part of what we have been inspired by. Then, people voluntarily told us their views, concerns and priorities, which we incorporated into the document you have before you.
