« Mr. Paul Lefebvre: […] The third point is ensuring that all federal services are delivered in full compliance with the Official Languages Act. […]Our committee could certainly review those points and help move things forward. It could check to see what the department is doing.

*Investing new funding for official languages to address the concerns raised in the consultation and through our analysis of the data.
*Demonstrating greater transparency and accountability in government funding and favouring evidence-based and grassroots-driven policy decisions."
