The Official Languages Act (OLA) is a quasi-constitutional legal instrument, which gives a specific legislative mandate to three federal institutions: the Department of Canadian Heritage, represented by the Minister of Official Languages, the Treasury Board Secretariat, and the Department of Justice.
On April 19, 2021, the Government of Canada introduced its Budget 2021: A Recovery Plan for Jobs, Growth and Resilience. It proposes to invest $389.9 million over three years to support official languages. This is in addition to the funding already provided by the government under the Action Plan for Official Languages 2018-2023.
On June 15, the Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages tabled Bill C-32 An Act to amend the Official Languages Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts in the House of Commons. The new Minister of Official Languages remains committed to reintroducing the bill which provides, among other things, for strengthening the powers of the Commissioner of Official Languages.
