Thank you.
I'm going to discuss what the bill proposes with respect to the powers of the Commissioner of Official Languages. The revision document released in February and Bill C‑32, which was introduced last spring, provided that the act would grant the Official Languages Commissioner four new powers.
The Commissioner would have the power, first, to make public the recommendations of the office's investigation reports; second, to enter into compliance agreements with federal entities in accordance with their wishes to determine how to resolve situations; and, third, to make orders. As you know, orders are approved by federal courts, which, once again, permits a certain type of behaviour to be expected of federal institutions.
I've cited three powers, but there's a fourth and slightly weaker power that escapes me for the moment. However, the three powers I've named are the strongest ones proposed in Bill C‑32.
