Finally, some speaking time, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
Good afternoon, Minister. Thank you for being here.
I'm honestly disappointed today because you don't have any solutions for us apart from Bill C‑13, which our committee will soon begin considering.
The bill would provide for fines of up to $25,000 that the Commissioner of Official Languages could impose. Given CN's revenues, which run into the billions of dollars, I'm not sure a $25,000 fine would change much.
The bill would also give the Commissioner authority to order businesses subject to the Official Languages Act to take certain types of action. I would like to hear what you think of that. Are you in favour of that possibility?
