I'd say that we have pretty much gone over our main recommendations.
It's certain that, on reading the current wording of the regulations, we thought that compliance would largely be based on complaints.
For comparison, with the federal government, there's the Commissioner of Official Languages. Once the problem has already occurred, an investigation is launched, and then corrections are made. Furthermore, Treasury Board and Canadian Heritage are doing a great job with promotion. Treasury Board requires federal institutions to provide triennial reports. There are no equivalent mechanisms in these regulations; there is no obligation for businesses to submit reports. The Department of Canadian Heritage also does not conduct audits upstream to avoid problems before they arise.
This is a big concern and a big gap. We don't have this dual mechanism for the private sector. It'll then be entirely up to francophone activists who will decide to demand their rights. We find it unfortunate that the proposed regulations aren't stronger and don't include preventive mechanisms for citizens.
