Through this program activity, the Office of the Commissioner works with parliamentarians, federal institutions and other organizations subject to the Official Languages Act, official language communities and the Canadian public in promoting linguistic duality. The Office of the Commissioner builds bridges between federal institutions, official language communities and the different levels of government to help them better understand the needs of official language communities, the importance of bilingualism and the value of respecting Canada’s linguistic duality. The Office of the Commissioner fulfills its promotion role by conducting research, studies and public awareness activities as well as intervening with senior federal officials so that they instil a change in culture to fully integrate linguistic duality in their organizations.
