  • Re: Bill C-13 
Madam Speaker, our message today is that we all want to adopt a modernized act, but it must be as good as possible. We look forward to working with all parliamentarians on the committee to improve Bill C‑13. The Commissioner of Official Languages released report after report highlighting the failures within the public service and the lack of compliance with the Official Languages Act. As a central agency, the Treasury Board must be fully responsible for implementing and coordinating matters relating to official languages. Why did the government not give all of the powers to the Treasury Board instead of Canadian Heritage?
