He may have taken the Vatican ruling to heart that if there is no Mass in your diocese celebrated according to the GIRM,...This is the first I've heard of this. Can you elaborate?
And who is to certify the the available masses in a given diocese are not GIRM-compliant? Can't imagine any local ordinary signing off on that.
There was a case in Hawaii in which several Catholics in Honolulu, disgusted with the liturgical abuses, asked the CDF's permission to attend SSPX Masses as an alternative. The CDF responded by granting them permission after ascertaining that no parish in the diocese could be counted on to provide liturgical orthopraxis to the faithful and that the local ordinary would not comply with the GIRM.
Which prompts the question: why not just correct the abuses?
As to who is to certify - well you and I both know that anyone who has read the GIRM can simply compare the liturgy they see with what the GIRM prescribes and determine whether certain blatant abuses are taking place or not.
