moved for leave to introduce Bill C-367, an act to amend the Official Languages Act (enforcement of the duties of the government).
Mr. Speaker, this bill is to ensure that the federal government complies with the Official Languages Act. As you know, sections 41 and 42, set out in Part VII of the act-a crucial part in terms of enforcement-are being flouted by the federal government. They act in this matter as if there were no legislation.
The bill will require the federal government to enforce its own legislation.
