Use of the internet by federal institutions. : SF31-41/1999E-PDF

"Pursuant to Part VII of the OLA, the Government of Canada also has a special obligation to advance the full recognition and use of English and French in Canadian society. It must therefore ensure that it fully reflects the two-language nature of our country in terms of the Internet presence maintained by federal institutions; it must also encourage the presence of both official languages in the content of sites which are not subject to the OLA. Given the existing linguistic imbalance and the lack of geographical boundaries on the Internet, we must in practical terms work with our international partners of la "Francophonie" to secure for the French language its rightful place on line. We invite the reader to consult the commissioner’s report The Government of Canada and French on the Internet (August 1999). In this follow-up to our 1996 report, we examine the progress of federal institutions in meeting their obligations under the OLA in light of their increased reliance on the Internet as both a work instrument and a medium by which services are provided to the public."--Introduction, pages [3-4].
