The number of complaints from Canadians who say their language rights weren’t respected dropped by more than half last year, but the official languages commissioner says it’s too early to say there is a downward trend.
In his annual report released Tuesday, Raymond Théberge says his office received 847 admissible complaints between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024, down from 1,788 in the previous fiscal year. The last time his office received fewer than 1,000 complaints in a year was in 2017-18, when there were 894.
