The answer is fairly simple: the act has changed.
According to the act, and according to this decision, what we can do in investigations is now limited.
The most difficult element of this decision is the fact that it cannot be determined whether a complaint is substantiated unless the consequences of the policy are known. In other words, there must first be negative or harmful repercussions.
Once that has been established, a complaint can be filed. The act says that different criteria now have to be met.
I am meeting with Minister Joly next week to really talk about follow-ups regarding part VII, in light of this decision.
I remind you that the case is between the government and the Fédération des francophones de la Colombie-Britannique.
