Thank you for the question.
We studied the issue thoroughly. We tried to stay as close as possible to the act. When determining how the regulations would be applied, we took into account all of the comments received during the consultations.
That is how we decided to specify certain elements relating to the notices of violation and payment, among other things. This still gives the Commissioner of Official Languages a great deal of latitude. He can choose which powers he wants to use. If he proceeds with an administrative monetary penalty, he can determine how high the penalty will be.
I would say there is still a great deal of flexibility, even though some elements of the notice are predefined in the regulations.
