Official Languages Commissioner Raymond Théberge reports a 52% drop in complaints from Canadians alleging language rights infringements, receiving 847 admissible complaints from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, compared to 1,788 in the previous fiscal year. However, Théberge cautions against drawing conclusions about a downward trend in language rights violations until further data is available.
