I think we should go back to part IV of the Official Languages Act to establish what criteria should be used to identify regions beyond those already identified in the act.
Canadian Heritage also has a duty to do an impact analysis of this legislation on communities. This analysis must take into account the capacity in areas and regions already identified. Canadian Heritage must also take into account the impact the act will have on official language communities, for example in Quebec, as we said earlier.
I think the right balance lies in the impact analysis to determine where the legislator's leeway is.
