Prior to the federal government tabling Bill C-32, an Act for the Substantive Equality of French and English and the Strengthening of the Official Languages Act, the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages studied the original proposed reform document.
Committee Chair Senator René Cormier spoke to The Record about some of the challenges the committee faced in studying the ‘English and French: Towards a substantive equality of official languages in Canada’ document during a pandemic.
“It was a short study. We didn’t have time to produce an extensive report. We just could produce a document with key points and we hope that this key points document will help the study of the bill itself,” he said.
