Official Languages committee I wait for an email from the Commissioner of Official Languages concerning the report.

Michel Thibodeau
Official Languages committee Yes, once I have received the report. What I need is the report confirming that my rights have been violated. Otherwise we would merely be exchanging legal arguments.
