Our biggest concern is to have regulations that allow for proper implementation of the act. We think effective regulations enable positive measures to be taken, measures that have a tangible and verifiable impact on the vitality of communities, on the protection and promotion of French, and on learning in the minority language.
The regulations must also respect the principle of a differentiated approach. Just to remind everyone, the act acknowledges that French is vulnerable across the country and that more needs to be done to ensure its protection and vitality. In this case, a public servant who reads only the proposed regulations would never see the expression of a differentiated approach.
