Title
A Submission to the Commission of Enquiry on the Position of the French Language and of Language Rights in the Province of Quebec on Improving French Language Education for Non French-speaking Children
Abstract
It is our purpose in this brief to show that, while we accept the principle that all people in Quebec should learn to speak French well, there are difficulties which prevent them from doing so. Present teaching methods and the numbers of French-speaking teachers in the English schools are inadequate. Many parents in Quebec are denied the right to choose French schools for their children --- thus the surest path to good French is closed to them. At the same time, there exists among English-speaking people anxiety regarding their linguistic rights in the province. This hampers the expansion of the French language outside the French community.
