Implementation is always difficult. The law, as we see it, does not necessarily give you a lot of scope for this implementation. You can only go so far.
It's not sufficient to discharge Canada's responsibility on part VII. We agree with that. The part VII regulations, by their very nature and apparently some degree of choice, are limited in scope. The architecture emphasizes procedural compliance, analysis, consultation, documentation and operational process, not outcomes. That's the concern.
There is some improvement. I've been in official languages for a long time. I have seen part VII. They've tried it before; this is not the first time. We're telling folks that they've come some way, but they've not come all of the way. We applaud the progress, but I'm not sure that we will get to the real meat and outcome with the process they have.
