Mise à jour du recensement 2021 : Une brève revue des dernières données sur l'emploi des Québécois d’expression anglaise du Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2023)
Un examen des données de recensement les plus récentes sur la situation de l'emploi des communautés d’expression anglaise au Québec révèle que les Québécois d’expression anglaise continuent de faire face à des défis importants sur le marché du travail. Malgré un taux élevé de participation à la population active et une augmentation du niveau de scolarité, les Québécois d’expression anglaise de la plupart des régions administratives de la province sont confrontés à des taux de chômage plus élevés, à des revenus médians plus faibles et à des taux de pauvreté plus élevés que ceux de la majorité francophone. Ce rapport donne un aperçu des principales caractéristiques du marché du travail des communautés d’expression anglaise au Québec, en se fondant sur les données du recensement de 2021.

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 - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (2022)
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.

The TFLP submits that Bill C-13, the proposed modernization of the Official Languages Act (“OLA”), redefines and restructures Canada’s federal Official Languages framework in fundamental and, likely, undesirable ways. It introduces an unprecedented asymmetrical approach to the protection and promotion of Official Languages in Canada and, perhaps even more problematically, to the defence of the linguistic rights and recourses afforded to French speakers and English speakers, both in the Province of Québec, and across the country.

Au Québec, la communauté noire et la communauté d'expression anglaise occupent toutes deux des positions relativement précaires sur le plan économique et de l'emploi : toutes deux connaissent des taux de chômage supérieurs à la moyenne et gagnent des revenus médians après impôt inférieurs à ceux de la population totale de la province. La communauté noire d'expression anglaise (CNEA) se trouve à l'intersection de ces deux communautés et subit la double marginalisation d'être à la fois une minorité raciale et linguistique au Québec.

The Education to Employability Study - Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC); Provincial Employment Roundtable of Quebec (2022)
In Québec, both the Black community and the English-speaking community occupy relatively precarious economic and employment positions: both experience higher-thanaverage unemployment rates and earn lower median after-tax incomes compared to the province’s total population. The English-speaking Black Community (ESBC) sits at the intersection of these two communities, and experiences the double marginalization of being both a racial and linguistic minority in Québec.

The Importance of School Support on the Mental Health of LGBTQIA2S+ Youth in Québec : Policy Brief - Piccolo, Lexie (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2022)
LGBTQIA2S+ youth face unique stressors. Québec isfairly inclusive as the province has prohibited discrimination of gender identity and sexual orientation in section 10 of the Québec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and urges for sexuality education to be a part of school curriculum. Although the province’s efforts have likely provided some relief to LGBTQIA2S+ Québec youth, reports of bullying and lack of support remain significant, especially in rural regions. Homophobic discrimination is directly and indirectly related to well-being as it can lead to feelings of isolation, which in turn leads to poorer mental health (Blais et al., 2014; Garcia et al., 2020). This is especially true for rural towns across Québec as the lack of queer representation prompts homophobic remarks and leads queer youth to feel alone (Dicaire, 2021). Given the amount of time youth spend in high-school, support within these facilities is essential. Research demonstrates that support systems for LGBTQIA2S+ youth, as well as education about this community within high-schools, may better the mental health of queer youth. In the absence of these tools, their mental health may languish.

The Jeffery Hale-St. Brigid’s Users’ Committee met ten times from April 2021 to March, 2022 plus at the Annual Meeting on June 7, 2021. There were no in-person meetings held because of the Public Health constraints imposed by the COVID 19 worldwide pandemic so all meetings were held through Zoom. Some of the main challenges this public health situation has presented to the Committee have been the difficulty of meaningfully supporting staff in both residences, limited in- person access to Residents and their families, recruiting new members, and the complications in planning and implementing programmes.

How is this linguistic minority using social media, and in what manner are they experiencing this digital shift? Will they want to keep having online events going forward? Our paper observes the digital behavior of young (aged 16-30) English-speaking Québecers from March 2020 until the current moment in the pandemic’s development.

Brief to House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages : Bill C-13, An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2022)
The Official Languages Act is a lifeline for English-speaking Quebec. With Quebec’s Bill 96, the community needs this lifeline more than ever. But with Bill C-13, this lifeline is fraying. Founded in 1995, the Quebec Community Groups Network (“QCGN”) is a not-for-profit organization linking English-language community organizations across Quebec. The QCGN—like the community it serves—is proud to support the protection and promotion of the French language in Canada. The QCGN advocates for linguistic duality in every province and territory. The English-speaking minority in Quebec is a diverse, bilingual, and resilient community that is facing serious economic challenges—in the face of persistent myths and stereotypes. Although the English language itself is not threatened, the English-speaking community’s challenge is in maintaining the community’s vitality and survival in all regions of Quebec.

Mémoire présenté au Comité permanent des langues officielles de la Chambre des communes : Projet de loi C-13, Loi visant l’égalité réelle entre les langues officielles du Canada - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2022)
La Loi sur les langues officielles (LLO) représente une bouée de sauvetage pour le Québec d’expression anglaise et, compte tenu du projet de loi 96 du Québec, la communauté anglophone en a besoin plus que jamais. Mais avec le projet de loi C-13, cette bouée de sauvetage s'effiloche. Fondé en 1995, le Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) est un organisme à but non lucratif qui relie les organismes communautaires de langue anglaise partout au Québec. Le QCGN — tout comme les communautés qu'il sert — est fier de soutenir la protection et la promotion de la langue française au Canada. Le QCGN milite en faveur de la dualité linguistique dans chaque province et chaque territoire. La minorité d’expression anglaise du Québec est une communauté diversifiée, bilingue et résiliente, qui est confrontée à de sérieux défis économiques ainsi qu’à des mythes et à des stéréotypes persistants. Bien que sa langue elle-même ne soit pas menacée, le défi de la communauté d’expression anglaise consiste à préserver sa vitalité et sa survie dans toutes les régions du Québec.

L’initiative sur la jeunesse et la santé mentale – rapport d'impact 2022-2023 - Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) (2022)
Au cours de la deuxième année de l'initiative sur la jeunesse et la santé mentale (surnommée « YMHI »), le CHSSN a soutenu 27 organismes communautaires avec plus de 373 partenariats dans 12 régions du Québec, y compris trois organismes provinciaux, dans le but principal d'améliorer l'accès aux services et aux ressources en matière de santé mentale pour les jeunes d’expression anglaise du Québec âgés de 15 à 29 ans. Chaque organisation s'est efforcée d'identifier les lacunes dans les services de santé mentale pour les jeunes, d'impliquer ces derniers dans la conception des programmes, d'établir des partenariats avec les écoles locales, les services de santé publique et d'autres organisations communautaires, d'adapter, de traduire et de produire des ressources, et d'offrir des activités et des programmes pour les jeunes afin de contribuer à combler certaines lacunes. Grâce à une communauté de pratique et à un soutien individualisé, le CHSSN aide les organismes communautaires à renforcer leurs connaissances, à travailler en réseau et à résoudre les problèmes liés à la mise en œuvre de leur programme.

Your Mental Health Initiative Impact Report 2022-2023 - Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) (2022)
Within the Youth Mental Health Initiative’s (YMHI) second year, CHSSN supported 27 community organizations with over 373 partnerships across 12 regions of Quebec including three provincial organizations, with the central goal of improving the access of mental health services and resources to Quebec’s English-speaking youth between the ages of 15-29. Each organization has worked to identify gaps in youth mental health services; engage youth in program design; partner with local schools, public health services and other community organizations; adapt, translate, and produce resources; and offer activities and programs for young people to help fill some of the gaps. Through a community of practice and individualized support, CHSSN helped community organizations to build their knowledge, network with each other and problemsolve on program implementation.

The Best-Treated Minority in the World : Historical and Discursive Analysis of a Cliché - Donovan, Patrick (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2022)
Politicians, polemicists, and others have long referred to Quebec’s Englishspeaking community as the “best-treated minority in the world.”1 This loaded phrase has also been used to describe other minorities: French speakers within Canada as a whole, Indigenous peoples in Canada, and religious groups and minorities in many European and colonial contexts. Through a historical overview and discourse analysis, this paper traces how the phrase has been used and abused, justified, and criticized over time. The particular focus is the Quebec context. There, we see a shift from a largely consensual use of the phrase across all language groups to one that becomes increasingly divisive and problematic from the 1980s on. This shift parallels the English-speaking community’s evolving sense of itself as a minority in decline.

The Effects of the Pandemic on the Arts & Creative Sector in Québec : How Anglophone Artists, Creators, and Performers are Faring in a Time of Adversity - Eraso, Cecilia (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2022)
The arts, entertainment, and recreation sector is infamous for being in a state of constant flux. The experience of consecutive short-term contracts and annual seasonal employment terminations is a familiar reality for many creators, producers, and performers in Québec (Jeannotte, 2021). What is unique for some Québec artists is the experience of a linguistic divide in the provincial arts sector. In 2016, English-speaking artists in the province earned less than their Francophone counterparts, on average, making a median income of “85 cents for every $1 made by Francophone artists’’ (Hill, 2020). On the national level, statistics from the 2016 Canadian Census show that Anglophone artists from Québec have a lower median income than the rest of Canadian artists. These findings are especially surprising when considering that, nationally, English-speakers in Québec represent a significant portion of Canadian artists. Anglophones in Québec account for 4.6% of all Canadian artists, despite only representing 2.8% of the Canadian labour force (Hill, 2020). The data indicate that two factors, occupation and language, are related to discrepancies in income levels in Québec.
