A fabric is woven of many threads.
Those of us who speak English and those of us who speak
French - ourselves made up of many different elements
- have joined together to weave a social fabric called
Canada. The golden fabric at the centre of the pin symbolizes
the meeting place of our two linguistic communities
and the richness of the dialogue between them.
Wearers of the emblem of the Office of
the Commissioner of Official Languages are signifying their
commitment to fostering the best possible human relations
between the English-speaking and French-speaking components
of Canada's social fabric.
