Acfas 2019: Pursuing Equality of Status Canada’s English Linguistic Minority Communities and the

This video features a presentation of "50 years of the Official Languages Act" conference at the 2019 Acfas congress. See below for description and information on the speaker. -- Moderator: Lorraine O'Donnell, QUESCREN Speaker: Sylvia Martin-Laforge, QCGN Summary of the presentation submitted by the speaker. The general introduction of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism lays the foundation for two official language minority communities in Canada, and the principle of equality, which, “…implies respect for the idea of minority status, both in the country as a whole and in each of its regions.” However, the Official Languages Act that flowed from the ‘Bi and Bi Commission’, and the structures that oversee and advance the Act have not reflected an approach based on the principle of equality. The English-speaking Community of Quebec—Canada’s English linguistic minority community—has not received “…generous treatment” in the Official Languages Act’s implementation. This presentation will offer examples of the impact this has had on the vitality of the English-speaking Community of Quebec, offer some ideas about why this situation has developed, and make recommendations on achieving the equality for both official language minority communities envisioned in the Commission’s report by modernizing the Official Languages Act.
