Thank you, Commissioner.
I think we are coming to the same realization.
You mentioned the ongoing discussion and the fact that the modernized iteration of the act would be introduced soon, further to Bill C-32. The bill was brought forward at the end of the previous Parliament, before the Prime Minister called the election. Consequently, the whole process has to start over. We are looking at a time frame of 100 days.
You just flagged one of the biggest problems, the fact that you don't necessarily have the tools you need to do your job.
Are you with those who are in favour of moving quickly or those who want to take the time required to create an enduring tool that will ensure French is adequately protected? Let's be clear, here. The objective isn't to protect English. Yes, it's part of the objective, but the real threat is to French.
In your view, should we fast-track the modernization of the Official Languages Act, or conversely, should we take the time to come up with a piece of legislation that will give the commissioner the tools to achieve tangible results and protect the French language?
