FREDERICTON -- A New Brunswick legislature committee is making more than 40 recommendations to improve the Official Languages Act.
The committee wants to require the provincial government to produce a plan to ensure it is complying with the act.
It also wants to clarify the period of time police forces have to provide services in both English and French, and it says municipalities should have the sole power to make sign bylaws within their jurisdictions.
Attorney General Marie-Claude Blais, who is also chairwoman of the committee, says the changes would clarify many parts of the law.
New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province.
The public has until May 17 to respond to the report.
The Official Languages Act was passed in 1969 and must be reviewed every 10 years.
