I would say that any regulatory regime should have an incentive and a corrective mechanism. In our case, the incentive is certainly the fact that it makes perfect sense to serve people in their language if there are many bilingual or francophone clients and workers in a region with a strong francophone presence. It makes perfect sense for them to exercise their rights. We hope this will serve as an incentive. We have two years to lay the groundwork and promote the initiative.
Regarding coercive power—I think you used such a term—the commissioner has the new powers you granted her in the modernized version of the Official Languages Act, which allow her to enter into compliance agreements. That's a serious matter. It's about holding someone accountable. And if an agreement isn't honoured, we can go to the Federal Court to compel a person to take action and comply with the agreement. I think that's a strong measure.
