Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Standing Committee on Government Operations was pleased to present its Report on the 2014 Review of the Official Languages Act to the House on Wednesday, March 11, 2015.
The report was read into the record, received by the House and moved into Committee of the Whole for further consideration.
The mandate of the committee's review comes directly from the Official Languages Act. Members will recall from the report presented yesterday that the standing committee's approach to the review was to pick up from where the last legislative review, which was conducted in 2009, left off.
Our committee's focus was on achieving continuity and ensuring accountability for the work that was previously done.
As we consider the report and subsequent motions, other Members may wish to make comments. Mahsi, Mr. Chair.
