Thank you, Madam Chair. The committee's report was read into the record on Thursday, May 26th, 2022. The Standing Committee on Government Operations has reviewed the 2020-2021 Annual Report of the Languages Commissioner. The Official Languages Act requires the Commissioner to prepare an annual report. The report includes information on the number of complaints filed. It can also include recommendations. The Speaker tables the report in the Legislative Assembly. Once tabled, committee reviews the report.

As part of the review the languages commissioner, Ms. Brenda Gauthier, appeared before the committee on February 17, 2022. She delivered an excellent presentation on her 2020-2021 Annual Report. The committee commends her work to relocate the Office of the Official Languages Commissioner to Fort Smith as well as her work building relations to understand and promote language rights.

Individual Members may have comments on the report, and I would like to thank the committee for their work on this. Thank you, Madam Chair.
