RECOMMENDATION 1
The Standing Committee on Official Languages recommends that the government of Canada immediately set aside a minimum of 5.4% of its media buys for the official-language minority media, a figure which corresponds to the relative weight of the minority francophone and anglophone communities in Canada.
RECOMMENDATION 2
The Committee asks that PWGSC comply fully with the Official Languages Act and other requirements set out in the Communications Policy of the Government of Canada. Furthermore, the Committee asks PWGSC to account for its purchases of space and time in the official-language minority media. Annual reports produced by PWGSC as part of its obligations under section 41 of Official Languages Act must provide information on this issue.
