Title
A Response to C-13 : An Act to Amend the Official Languages Act, to Enact the Use of French in Federally Regulated Private Businesses Act and to Make Related Amendments to Other Acts
Abstract
The passage of Bill 96 - An Act respecting French, the official and common language of Quebec – makes  the protections afforded by the Official Languages Act more important to Québec’s English‐speaking community than ever. This community is not simply an extension of the other English‐speaking  communities of Canada; it is a unique community that is largely bilingual and as diverse inculture and geographical location as it is proud.  The many challenges it faces are not only mostly unaddressed by  Bill C‐13 but likely to be exacerbated by it.
