<b><i>Did you know that the [https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-92-48/index.html Official Languages (Communications with and Services to the Public) Regulations] specifies two scenarios that oblige federal institutions to consult with official language minority communities? </b></i>< <br>
+
Virtual meetings and teleconferences have been established as the new norm in both the private and public sectors this year. Everything from team meetings to large-scale events moved from auditoriums and meeting rooms to phone lines and cameras.<br>
Following-up on our request for testimonials sent on August 4, the Official Languages Centre of Excellence is looking for feedback from federal institutions that have consulted with language minority communities in the last 10 years. This information-gathering initiative will help the Regulations team to develop tools that will make it easier and more efficient for you to conduct such consultations in the future. <br>
