Roadmap for Federal Insitutions' Obligations Under Part VII of the Official Languages Act

This roadmap was created to help federal institutions and the general public better understand Part VII of the Official Languages Act (the Act). It provides an explanation of the objectives of Part VII and the commitments set out in it, including the consequent obligations applicable to all federal institutions that are subject to the Act. The roadmap is first and foremost a practical tool to help federal institutions understand the meaning of Part VII of the Act so that they can fully implement it. It is also a tool to help communities and individuals covered by Part VII of the Act to better understand their rights under it. In addition, it serves as a complement to the Act itself, as interpreted by the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages.
