The use of the official language minority press by federal institutions / Author: Estelle Charron.: SF31-65/2002E-PDF
"For several years, the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages has received many complaints about federal institutions' failure to use the official language minority press when placing advertisements in official language majority newspapers. In spite of various measures taken with the institutions by successive Commissioners of Official Languages over the years, primarily through investigations and complaints, and in spite of the commitments made by institutions following these investigations, the problem persists. Since complaints are filled further to announcements being published in official language majority newspapers without equivalent announcements being placed in official language minority newspapers, the campaign that was the subject of the announcement is often finished, and it is too late to take the appropriate corrective measures. To eliminate such cases where it is too late for corrective action, the Commissioner of Official Languages undertook a special study in the summer of 2001 in order to propose solutions to address these problems at their source and to prevent repeated complaints about the failure of institutions subject to the Official Languages Act to use the official language minority press"--Introduction, page 1.
