Francophone Advisory Committee Files Report on Access to Justice in French

Released on October 28, 2016

The Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs’ latest report to the Government of Saskatchewan has been received by Provincial Secretary Nadine Wilson.

“The Government of Saskatchewan is continuously looking for ways to improve on its processes, and it is through reports like these that we are able to understand how to better serve our francophone community,” Wilson said.  “Once again I would like to thank the committee for their hard work and I look forward to reviewing their recommendations.”

The report contains several recommendations, including increasing the use of bilingual signage, designating additional bilingual positions in the court system, and adopting a formal process to ensure the confidentially of interpreters.

The Ministry of Justice currently has a number of procedures in place to accommodate French-speaking citizens, including bilingual signage in some Saskatchewan court houses.  In addition, the ministry provides interpretation services and employs bilingual judges and officers of the court.

The recommendations put forward by the Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs were developed following consultation with the Ministry of Justice and community organizations.

Since its creation in 2009, the role of the Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs is to advise the Provincial Secretary on the implementation of the provincial government’s French-language services policy.
