Mahsi, Mr. Chairman and colleagues. Many of the report's recommendations direct the government to take action with issues that have been identified by the Languages Commissioner. In most cases, the Languages Commissioner identified these issues because they were the subject of complaints or inquiries to the office. Committee Members expect that the government will address these issues in the proposed official languages handbook.
The standing committee wants to see the official languages handbook completed as soon as possible in order that it might be reviewed in conjunction with the next annual report of the Languages Commissioner.
