Hello, I would like to obtain all reports, briefing notes, presentations and administrative directives concerning the use of official languages in the Parliament of Canada, including the House of Commons and the Senate over the past 5 years (2019 to 2023). The use of official languages touches on the following subjects: the experiences/stories of employees (political and non-political) and parliamentarians (MPs and Senators); the staffing of bilingual and non-bilingual positions, the right to work in the official language of one's choice, the right to an offer of services in both official languages, interpretation in parliamentary proceedings, translation of parliamentary documents and the formulation of bills in both official languages. Thank you in advance for your consideration of my request.Organization: Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages

In November, 2013, the OCI published a report titled “A Case Study of Diversity in Corrections: The Black Inmate Experience in Federal Penitentiaries Final Report.” That report was based in part on interviews and focus groups conducted with Black prisoners. Last year’s annual report included an update to the Black experiences report based on additional interviews. I would like anonymized copies of the notes taken during these interviews.Organization: The Correctional Investigator Canada

Please accept this request for records under the Access to Information Act. My request concerns documents related to the Official Languages Act (OLA). Specifically, I would like to receive electronic copies of the following records: • Any internal records (reports, memos, legal opinions, training material, guidelines, or otherwise) that concern how the Commissioner calculates the number of passengers who are used to trigger the application of the OLA to airports or ferry terminals. Omit anything that has already been published on the Commissioner’s website or that is otherwise available to the public already. • Any internal records (reports, memos, legal opinions, training material, guidelines, or otherwise) that concern how the Commissioner interprets the phrases “over a year” or “during a year” or “ au cours d’une année” as that phrase is used in sections 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 of the Official Languages (Communications with and Services to the Public) Regulations, SOR/92-48.Organization: Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages
