I would venture to guess that the imposition of administrative monetary penalties is an incentive to improve compliance with the act. It's more than that. I feel that Air Canada really needs to develop a culture that values official languages, particularly French. It's an interesting tool, but I'd also like to be able to develop compliance agreements with Air Canada, to issue orders and to see if, in the end, sanctions are really necessary. For the moment, we're a long way from that.
