Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Yukon for standing up for official language rights. Our modernized act will strengthen the powers of the Commissioner of Official Languages, including new authority to impose monetary penalties. In addition, for the first time, we are centralizing coordination of the act with a single minister who will have access to the resources of a central agency. Canadians told us these measures were needed. I am proud to say we have taken action.
