Brief to the Election System Study Panel - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2015)
For a number of years, a political discussion has been underway in Quebec regarding the management and control of the Province’s primary and secondary school systems. This discussion has been taking place within a wider governance trend of retrenching decentralized governance of public institutions; health and social services, post-secondary institutions, and economic development to name a few. The locus of civil society’s involvement in the Province’s public life has therefore been shifted from regional power bases to the central government.

A Brief on School Board Elections Systems - The Rights and Education Committee of the Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA), 2015)
Due to the importance of elected English school boards to the English-speaking community, in 2014 the Québec Federation of Home and School Associations Inc. (QFHSA) decided to get involved in promoting school board elections. The Rights, Education and Resolutions Committee (RER) was mandated to produce a Special Bulletin on School Board Elections, which would include contributions from the Québec English School Board Association (QESBA), the Québec Community Groups Network (QCGN), out-going School Board Commissioners as well as a QFHSA Brief on School Board Elections Systems message from our own president, Lawrence DePoe. Included in the bulletin would be information on returning officers and how to get on the right voters list. The intention was to provide as much information as possible to parents to boost voter turnout at the polls. This information would be of benefit to Home and School parents and the general public. Forty thousand (40,000) copies of the Special Bulletin were printed and distributed to all English public schools in Quebec, with assistance from QESBA through their internal mail system. Consensus at the QFHSA Board of Directors’ as well as within the QFHSA Rights Education and Resolutions and Editorial Committees’, was that the future of school boards in Québec was at stake, and this justified the special effort.

Community organizations carry out their missions in an environment of continual reorganization of the health and social services system. In this context, groups must face the challenge of mobilizing resources to engage communities in a collective effort to commit the public system to meet the specific needs of community members. Groups are also challenged to introduce innovative approaches into their programs in a continual effort to achieve positive and long-lasting results.

Canadian Community Health Survey (2011-2012) : Findings Related to the Mental and Emotional Health of Quebec's English-speaking Communities - Pocock, Joanne (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2015)
This report is organized around two primary objectives. The first objective is to provide reliable knowledge regarding the mental and emotional health of Quebec’s English-speaking minority communities. In so doing, this report contributes up-to-date and relevant findings to the evidence base that informs the decision-making and initiatives of organizations serving this population. This objective is served by 131 statistical tables and descriptive commentary that provide information drawn from the 2011-2012 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). The second objective is to consult the body of experience and expertise of community organizations and networks many of whom are on the front-line in meeting the needs and building the resiliency of English speakers in this aspect of their health and well-being. This objective has been met by soliciting the response of five organizations to the picture of the situation among English speakers conveyed by the CCHS tabulations. As a panel, the organizations were invited to address how this knowledge might serve as a resource in setting priorities and designing initiatives benefitting English-speaking communities. In other words, as a tool in developing community capacity.

Mesure 2 : Programme de maintien en poste : Volets Réseaux communautaires et Maisons d’enseignement : Prospectus 2014-2018 - Dialogue McGill (2014)
Le Projet de formation et de maintien en poste des professionnels de la santé de l’Université McGill contribue aux initiatives du Québec destinées à assurer aux Québécois d’expression anglaise l’accès dans leur langue à la gamme complète de services de santé et de services sociaux, et ce, au moyen de diverses mesures visant à fournir et à maintenir en poste un complément de main-d’œuvre suffisant, capable d’offrir des services en anglais. Le projet constitue un outil additionnel favorisant l’application et la bonification des programmes régionaux d’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux en langue anglaise, conformément à la Loi sur les services de santé et les services sociaux. Ce Projet a pour objectifs précis de susciter des initiatives de formation et de maintien en poste qui fourniront aux professionnels de la santé et des services sociaux l’occasion d’améliorer leur capacité d’offrir des services en anglais, ainsi que l’occasion de travailler là où ils seront en mesure de répondre aux besoins des populations d’expression anglaise du Québec. Le Projet vise également à promouvoir la recherche et le partage de l’information quant aux approches visant à réduire les barrières en matière d’accès aux services de santé et aux services sociaux pour les Québécois d’expression anglaise.

International Adult Skills Surveys: Andragogical Issues in Linguistic Minority Communities - Lurette, Donald (The Centre for Literacy of Quebec (CFL), 2014)
I have been working in the literacy field with francophone adults in a minority setting and in a variety of capacities for twenty years, and consider myself a reflective and critical practitioner. I strive to understand the world of adult education and skills development based on my practical experiences and observations from the field. This text is written from that perspective, based on principles of andragogy. Using inductive and deductive processes, I propose ideas and reflections on the concept of the evaluation of basic skills of adults living in linguistic minority communities in Canada. On the theoretical side, I use several key studies, including an analytical background paper written for The Centre for Literacy’s 2013 Summer Institute by Jean-Pierre Jeantheau, Chargé de mission national of the French Agence nationale de lutte contre l'illettrisme, on the subject of linguistic minority groups and international literacy assessments.

Consultation générale et auditions publiques sur le projet de loi n° 60 - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2013)
Le Conseil catholique d'expression anglaise (CCEA) s’oppose à la charte proposée par le projet de loi 60, et ce, pour les raisons suivantes : • Il menace d’éroder, d’un point de vue historique et juridique, les libertés fondamentales de conscience, de religion, d’opinion et d’expression. Il s’agit des libertés « primordiales » dans notre société et il faut s’opposer à tout ce qui tend à diluer ou à réduire ces libertés. • Il propose une société sécularisée dans laquelle l’expression et la pratique religieuses sont marginalisées. Il cherche à recadrer le débat public de manière à ce que l’exercice des droits et libertés protégés par les chartes soit perçu comme imposé à la société et nécessitant la permission de l’État. • Il formule une notion embrouillée de la séparation de l’Église et de l’État en proposant que l’État a le pouvoir de définir la nature des croyances, de la pratique et de l’expression religieuses. • Dans tous les points susmentionnés, il situe le rôle de l’État au-dessus des paramètres de gouvernance appropriés d’un gouvernement élu démocratiquement et responsable. Le CCEA demande au gouvernement du Québec de retirer le projet de loi 60.

General Consultation and Public Hearings on Bill 60 - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2013)
The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) objects to the proposed “Charter,” Bill 60, on the following grounds: • It threatens to erode the historically and legislatively foundational freedoms of conscience, religion, opinion and expression. These are considered to be “first” freedoms in our society and any trend to dilute or undermine these freedoms must be resisted. • It proposes a secularized society in which religious expression and practice are marginalized. It seeks to reframe the public discussion so that the exercising of Charter-protected rights is to be understood as an imposition upon society which requires the permission of the State. • It muddies the separation of Church and State as it proposes the State has the power to define the nature of religious belief, practice and expression. • In all of the aforementioned points the role of the State is elevated above the proper parameters of a democratically elected and responsible government. The ESCC calls upon the Government of Quebec to withdraw Bill 60.

IALS and Essential Skills in Canadian Literacy Policy and Practice : A Descriptive Overview - Hayes, Brigid (2013)
The field of literacy encompasses many disciplines and areas of engagement from early childhood through schooling to community and work contexts over the lifespan. This review is concerned with a sub-set of the field – adult literacy – with a specific focus on the influence of the International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) on policy and practice across Canada since its release in 1994. With the upcoming release of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) results in Fall 2013, this overview describes some of the ways IALS has been used by Canadian governments and literacy organizations.

Language Training Program : Overall Profile 2009-2013 - Dialogue McGill (2013)
The Language Training Program, Measure 1, has three components. The first two pertain to English and French for professional purposes courses offered through the regional language training projects designed and implemented by Quebec’s 18 health and social services agencies (the "agencies"). The third covers support activities for the trainers giving language courses in the regions and the learners who take those courses. These activities are developed and offered by the McGill Project team. The Program structure and content were developed by the McGill Project team and are described in Language Training Program – Frame of Reference 2009-2013, which also describes the target users; the Program objectives, partners and conditions; the parameters of the call for proposals for regional training projects; and regional allocation of the funding envelope. A coordinating mechanism, the MSSS-McGill Joint Committee, implements and monitors the Program, as prescribed in the Implementation Framework that the two organizations signed onto in November 2009.

Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project : Research development program : overall profile 2009-2013 - Dialogue McGill (2013)
The McGill University Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project (McGill Project) adds to the initiatives of the Government of Québec to give English-speaking Quebecers access to the full range of health and social services in their own language. It is an additional tool for implementing and revising regional programs for access to services in English, as prescribed in the Act respecting health services and social services. The McGill Project addresses the recognized needs of English-speaking communities and the challenge that those needs pose for Quebec's health and social services system. Given this, the McGill Project set up various programs to train and promote the hiring and retention of sufficient professionals qualified to deliver health and social services in English. The McGill Project is funded by Health Canada in the amount of $19 million over four years through its Official Languages Health Contribution Program (OLHCP). This report is the third in a three-part series to present the data gathered through the McGill Project from 2009 to 2013. The series deals with the three measures of the McGill Project, namely, the Language Training Program, the Retention and Distance Professional and Community Support Program, and the Research Development Program. The reports are organized to reflect the structure of each program as set out in the reference documents. Each report begins with an introduction of the program, then briefly describes the variables, data sources and sections of the report. This document reports on Measure 3, the Research Development Program, and is meant to inform Program reframing in Phase 3 (2013-2018).

A Brief Presented to the Parliamentary Committee on Cutlure and Education on Bill 14 (an Act to Amend the Charter of the French Language, the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and Other Legislative Provisions) - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (2013)
On December 5, 2012, the Honorable Diane De Courcy, Minister responsible for the Charter of the French Language, introduced Bill 14, An Act to amend the Charter of the French Language, the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and other legislative provisions to the National Assembly. The decision to amend the Charter of the French Language and the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms follows the recent minority win of the Parti Québécois in the National Assembly on September 4, 2012. QFHSA questions the need for this legislation when we are at a time of general peace in terms of language relations.

The Decline of the English School System in Quebec - Bourhis, Richard Y.; Foucher, Pierre (Canadian Institute for Research on Linguistic Minorities (CIRLM), 2012)
With the adoption of the Charter of the French Language by the Parti Québécois in 1977, Quebec Anglophones were most concerned about the erosion of their educational institutions resulting not only from the out-migration of Anglophones and Allophones to the rest of Canada (ROC), but also from the Bill 101 law stipulating that international immigrants to Quebec could no longer choose to send their children to English schools (Mallea, 1984). Thus, following Bill 101, Quebec Anglophones could no longer count on immigrants to maintain the demographic base necessary to keep open key English medium schools across the province (McAndrew, 2002). However by 1982, Anglophones, as English mother tongue “rights holders”, could now count on their right to English schooling in Quebec as enshrined in Article 23 of the Canadian Constitution.

L'économie créative et les communautés anglophones au Québec: Rapport préparé pour Industrie Canada par Tracy Zhang - Zhang, Tracy (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2012)
L’économie créative et les communautés anglophones au Québec présente les résultats préliminaires d’une étude comprenant un groupe de discussion, des entrevues privées avec des intervenants clés et des recherches documentaires. Le rapport démontre que l’idée d’économie créative est utile au suivi du développement culturel et économique des communautés anglophones du Québec (CAQ). Les anglophones québécois constituent la plus importante communauté minoritaire de langue officielle provinciale au Canada. Au cours des dernières décennies, la composition de cette population est devenue de plus en plus complexe et multiculturelle. Parallèlement à ces changements démographiques, l’influence de la culture anglophone québécoise a aussi évolué. On dit qu’une proportion particulièrement élevée d’anglophones est engagée dans le secteur des arts, de la culture et du patrimoine. Dans ce contexte, les organismes du secteur jouent un rôle croissant dans le développement socioéconomique des CAQ. Le présent rapport révèle les préoccupations grandissantes des représentants de certains organismes de ce type qui ont participé à l’étude en ce qui a trait à la manière d’appliquer la théorie de l’économie créative de façon à créer des modèles de développement culturel et économique efficaces pour les CAQ.

The Creative Economy and the English Speaking Communities in Quebec : Report Submitted to Industry Canada by Tracy Zhang on Behalf of the Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN) - Zhang, Tracy (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2012)
The Creative Economy and English-Speaking Communities in Quebec presents preliminary research results based on a focus group, private key informant interviews, and bibliographical research. It demonstrates that the concepts of the creative economy are useful in charting cultural and economic development for the English-speaking communities in Quebec (ESCQ). The English-speaking population in Quebec forms the largest provincial Official Language Minority Community in Canada. In recent decades, the composition of this population has become increasingly complex and multicultural. Parallel to this demographic shift, the influence of English-language Quebec culture has also evolved. English-speakers are said to have a high participation rate in the arts, culture and heritage sectors. In this context, organizations from these sectors are increasingly involved in supporting the socioeconomic development of the ESCQ. This report reflects growing concerns on the part of representatives of some of these organizations who participated in the study over how to apply the creative economy theory to generate effective models of cultural-economic development for the ESCQ.

The Literacy and Essential Skills Needs of Quebec's Anglophone Adults - Centre for Literacy (CFL) (2012)
Understanding the Literacy and Essential Skills Needs of Quebec’s Anglophone Adults,1 Phase 1, was a project designed to deepen knowledge and understanding of the literacy and essential skills (LES) needs of Anglophone adults living in Quebec as a basis to more effectively serve Englishspeaking communities across the province. The issue was first identified in a publication by Statistics Canada of the 2003 IALSS results for Canada’s official language minorities (discussed in detail in Sections Three and Four) which showed large disparities in literacy performance among Quebec Anglophones (Corbeil 2006: 20). The findings suggested differences in needs from one community to another that may require targeted services.

Language Training Program : Frame of Reference 2010-2013 - Dialogue McGill (2011)
The McGill Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project seeks to contribute to Government of Quebec initiatives aimed at ensuring that English-speaking Quebecers have access to the full range of health and social services in their language. To this end it proposes a series of measures to train, hire and retain an adequate workforce for delivering health services and social services in English. The Project objectives are to a) improve the capacity of the health and social services network to serve English speakers in their language and b) increase the participation of English-speaking professionals in Quebec’s health and social services system. The achievement of these goals depends on a solid partnership between McGill University and the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS). A MSSS-McGill joint committee has been formed to oversee the implementation and monitoring of the various Project measures.
