Is that the kind of issue you could help us address by including it in your submission to the committee? It could be said that you deal with the application of the Official Languages Act on a daily basis, so you are no doubt well-suited to shed light on the different possible interpretations of the act. We could invite witnesses on both sides of the issue. It could be quite useful.
I'm curious as to whether you think the updated version of the Official Languages Act should have more teeth, more enforcement powers, for example? Air Canada and other institutions have trouble meeting the requirements of the act. In previous reports, the former commissioner, Mr. Fraser, said that the act wasn't strong enough, that it lacked the teeth to impose fines or enforcement measures.
Should the updated act go as far as to include powers that would meet your needs as commissioner?
