One thing is important but I have not been able to check it. I have spoken with the FCFA too. It seems that the system will be largely complaint-based. So it is important that complaints be anonymous and that there be recourse for anyone suffering retaliation. I speak a lot about the right to work in French. A lot of employees would not dare to complain. In Quebec, this has been the case for a long time and the legislation has evolved. People used to not dare to complain because they did not want reprisals from their employer.
So first, we need mechanisms to allow for anonymity. Second, employees must have recourse. The minister is supposed to do the follow-up, but the UFPBA has no teeth and no ability to impose fines, as Bill 101 has.
