Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a couple of questions in this section. I want to start off with I referenced in my opening remarks the extensive review that was done by the Standing Committee on Government Operations in the previous Assembly and the recommendations in the report that they produced were many. That was the review of the Official Languages Act. Their recommendations have yet to be acted on, really, by the department.
I noted in the Minister’s opening remarks he mentions that the Official Languages Act will be amended to eliminate the Official Languages Board, and that is one thing certainly that was recommended by the committee, but there were a number of other recommendations to legislation that were recommended in that report as well. I didn’t see any reference to them in the Minister’s remarks.
There was some action on changes to the legislation in the 16th Assembly, but it was minimal.
I guess I would like to know from the Minister, he is going to bring back, I presume, some changes to the legislation, from what he said in his opening remarks. I would like to know whether or not it is just a small amendment to remove the Official Languages Board or I think that might… I don’t know if that is official languages or Aboriginal languages, but will it only be minor amendments to the act or will he be bringing forward most of the amendments that were recommended by committee? Thank you.
