This report summarizes the testimony and briefs collected by the Committee between 25 February 2021 (43^rd Parliament) and 16 February 2022 (44^th Parliament) as part of its study on the measures that the Government of Canada can take to protect the French language in Canada and Quebec. It does not take into consideration the most recent developments in terms of official languages, notably the legislative process for Bill C‑13, An Act to amend the Official Languages Act, to enact the Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act and to make related amendments to other Acts. That said, it reflects the ideas and needs expressed by witnesses at a pivotal moment in the evolution of the federal language regime. Therefore, the Committee has chosen to present a summary of this evidence so that it may be recorded in a report to Parliament. It is important to note that recommendations, apart from the first one, have been updated.
