We have not looked into that issue to date for the simple reason that we are sticking to our mandate. We have, however, begun to reflect on the impact of the increase in complaints.
As I mentioned in my opening remarks, if we spend more time on investigations, we will spend less time on monitoring, for example. Monitoring is an important part of our work. We must follow up on recommendations. There's no point making recommendations if we don't follow up on them. We are looking into that.
The other point I brought up involves studies and research. We recently published a document about official languages in emergency situations, and yesterday we released a report on section 91 and language requirements for positions. Since I took up my duties, I have noticed that we need a lot more information to better understand some of the things I believe we should look into. We are currently putting together a study on immigration for the coming year because we know very well how important immigration is.
We could establish a much larger research program to inform not only our thinking, but also the government's. A modernized Act could certainly have an impact on the operations of the Office of the Commissioner.
