inches of snow has finally gotten to me you say Not so I don t think Ana no these are not punchlines from the latest round of Jokes on the Ottawa cocktail circuit They are but three of dozens of sub chapter headings In the recently tabled Third Annual Report of the Commissioner of Official Languages No kid ding The report is a thick 1066 pages red Jacketed tome prepared In both official languages naturally by our Official Languages Com missloner Keith Spicer Pursuant to section 341 of the Official Languages Act It is a highly personalized extemely well and humourously written account of the country progress or sometimes lack of it toward implementation of the Official Languages Act Mr Spicer certainly Is not your ordinary garden variety Ottawa He has a flair for putting his foot in his mouth eg his Westmount Rhodesia ns remark and for very frankly speaking his mind and doing his job the way he and no one else thinks It should be done Whereas the annual reports of most government departments and agencies are brief boring efforts written by the makes genuinely interesting reading He describes his function as Commissioner as one of His Is a role of monitoring the various federal government departments agencies boards etc across the country and of assessing their efforts to provide services to each member of the public in the off language of his or her choice He details with a great deal of sensitivity the pressures on civil servants to acquire second language training and how these pressures result in fears for job security He outlines numerous public complaints of both English and French speaking members of the public about unfair or discriminatory treatment of their language rights from a complaint about a National Arts Centre opera program printed in French only to the long time French speaking civil servant in Quebec City who was refused advancement because he lacked sufficient English Most Important of course are his recommendations for smoothing the way fairly and equitably to both civil servant and public toward effective operation of the principles of bilingual ism Given the emotional and controversial nature of the concept of this is is no mean feat But Spicer jnvet complaints and proposed solutions as well as departmental programs for implementation inevitably display a cool compromising old fashioned horse sense approach I don t believe as some people fear that anyone is trying to ram French or English down anyone throat We are a bilingual country officially so as of 1969 We should sincerely work together toward protecting the language and cultural rights of each other Keith is one civil servant in a tough job ad performing a service for all of us 1 recommmend his report Anyone wanting a copy please contact me it you have a problem
