Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome back to the committee, Mr. Fraser. It's always helpful to hear what you have to say. You have a way of putting everything in such clear and simple terms.
With all the witnesses the committee has heard from thus far, we are starting to get a sense of what our recommendations for modernizing the act should look like.
What you're saying—and I'm repeating what other witnesses have said—somewhat confirms what your former counterpart Michel Carrier, New Brunswick's interim official languages commissioner, told the committee. He told us that we didn't necessarily need something with more bite or a powerful tribunal; rather, he recommended that we start by bringing clarity to the interpretation of the act by removing all the ambiguity. According to him, the objectives of the act are crystal clear, but the way to achieve them is totally vague.
Given all the case law related to the Official Languages Act, ranging from decisions of the Court of Appeal of New Brunswick—my province—to those of the Supreme Court of Canada, I'd like to hear your view. We all know the objectives of the act, which are set out in section 2, I believe.
