Thank you for your question.
From a legal standpoint, I don't think the provision would have any unintended consequences on the Official Languages Act, a statute that aims to advance official languages equality. That said, I'm not on the inside; sometimes the courts can hand down surprising rulings.
On the face of it, nothing in the amendment appears to undermine the purpose of the act, which is to advance language rights and enhance the vitality of linguistic minority communities.
