Part VII has been a concern for both official language minorities for years. For 20 years, maybe more, we've been worried about part VII in the act.
That means we're concerned about the proposed regulations regarding part VII of the act. However, we're seeing progress in the documentation work.
The paper trail will help everyone. There are procedural parts of part VII that are very good, but we are still concerned because of the alignment with the Charter of the French Language in the act.
We were against the modernization of the act, let's be clear, mostly because it included the Charter of the French Language. We are the only jurisdiction that has the construct of having provincial and federal within the act, so it shows in part VII regulations.
There's no way to break down how part VII of the act will help the English-speaking community, the French-speaking majority in Quebec and the French-speaking minority in the rest of Canada.
