Abstract
(CCNMatthews - Sept. 13, 2005) - The Commissioner of Official Languages, Dr. [Dyane Adam], released today a study showing that even though there is still much work to be done to bridge the digital divide between the country's two official languages, the Government of Canada's efforts have resulted in significant progress.
In addition to the five recommendations from the 2002 reports that have yet to be implemented, the Commissioner has added six more that are intended to increase the offer of bilingual content and technolinguistic tools and strengthen the governance framework regarding the use of French on the Internet. "Implementing these recommendations will enable the government to provide Canadians with access to high-quality Internet content in both official languages," concluded the Commissioner.
