Title
English and French : Towards the Substantive Equality of Official Languages in Canada
Abstract
The Government of Canada’s paper on official language reform captures important demands made by the English-speaking community of Quebec during consultative processes related to the modernization of the Official Languages Act. There is reason for optimism around proposals for an expanded role of Treasury Board and power of the Commissioner of Official Languages in the implementation of the Act. And there are opportunities for increased support to our community’s institutions and provisions for more transparency on federal transfers directed towards our vitality; proposals that are tempered by the need for provincial cooperation.
