The intent of this report is to inform the public, federal institutions and Parliament as to how the Commissioner of Official Languages has exercised his powers throughout the years. It details the factors that lead the Commissioner to file legal proceedings himself or to participate as intervener, as well as the profound and lasting effects that his participation can have on the judicial process. The report also contains, for the benefit of the Government of Canada, parliamentarians and federal institutions, findings that should be taken into consideration in order to promote better dialogue on language rights and ultimately to strengthen the country’s linguistic duality.
