If funding for colleges and universities were more stable, more predictable and multi-year, we would have better training for the staff needed so that courthouses could operate in French at the drop of a hat, not just after a week or two of notice, as is sometimes the case in certain regions, even where I live in eastern Ontario.
All roads lead to Rome. Federal funding spent through the action plan for official languages 2023–2028 in an attempt to implement the Official Languages Act must respect that. This needs to be better regulated.
We need to focus on results and transparency. We have to listen to our communities. In Ontario, the Association des juristes d'expression française de l'Ontario, or AJEFO, is, of course, in a better position than I am to identify those needs. They have, however, been expressed.
We need to take action, with an action plan that gets results. We must avoid giving false hope since the modernized act was passed in 2023.
