Report to Parliament of the Commissioner of Official Languages on the investigation into the Courts Administration Service under subsection 65(3) of the Official Languages Act .: SF31-129/2016E-PDF
"The purpose of this report is to inform Parliament of the need to clarify the obligations arising from the Official Languages Act regarding the on-line posting of federal court decisions. This report follows a report to the Governor in Council, which had recommended that the government table a bill or apply for a reference to the Supreme Court of Canada in order to clarify the language obligations set out under the Act. Since the government has no intention, in the short or medium term, to take steps to clarify the issue of posting federal court decisions on-line in both official languages, it is recommended that Parliament send this report to one of the two standing committees on official languages for review so that it may recommend that the government table a bill clarifying the language obligations of federal courts in this regard"--Executive summary, p. 5.
