One of our recommendations is that the list of businesses subject to the Official Languages Act be automatically provided to the Commissioner of Official Languages, not only to facilitate investigations but also to educate and foster French. This is because if everything depends on the minister's political will, we believe that will not be enough.
According to what is currently being proposed, it will be a system based solely on the number of complaints. First of all, if we could know which businesses are subject to these regulations, that would help. According to the regulations that were submitted, no list was provided. In our view, the obligation to provide this list to the commissioner would be a proactive measure.
