Survey on Vulnerability in the Context of Fatherhood : Preliminary Report - Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) (2022)
The Regroupement pour la Valorisation de la Paternité (RVP) brings together more than 250 organizations and individuals from the 17 administrative regions of Quebec. Its mission is to value the role of fathers and to promote their importance in the family and in society for the development and well-being of children, in a perspective of equality between parents. The RVP has enlisted the services of SOM to consult Quebec fathers of children under 18 years of age in order to better understand the concept of vulnerability in the context of fatherhood, particularly from the perspective of the diversity of parental experiences and pathways. In partnership with the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), this report was based on a subsample of 400 respondents who completed the questionnaire in English.

French-language Support for Québec's English-speaking Professionals - Juste, Catherine-Laure (Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT), 2022)
French-language barriers can be a challenge for professionals who are English speakers and must practice their profession in accordance with French-language policies. Despite high levels of English-French bilingualism among Québec’s English speakers, French remains a challenge for some who require additional profession-specific French-language training. Not only is French-language proficiency a requirement for membership in Québec’s professional orders, but professionals who do not meet language criteria must also pass a French-language competency exam administered by the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF). Additionally, professional orders can mandate all their members to take French-language professional competency exams throughout their careers.

Soutien en langue française pour les professionnelles et professionnels d'expression anglaise au Québec - Juste, Catherine-Laure (Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT), 2022)
La langue française peut représenter un obstacle pour les professionnelles et professionnels d’expression anglaise qui doivent exercer leur profession en respectant les politiques linguistiques en place. Malgré un haut niveau de bilinguisme parmi les Québécois·e·s d’expression anglaise, le français demeure une embuche pour certain∙e∙s. Ces personnes professionnelles bénéficieraient de formation linguistique additionnelle en lien avec leur métier. Non seulement la maîtrise du français est un prérequis pour se joindre aux ordres professionnels québécois, mais, dans certains cas, les personnes qui ne satisfont pas aux critères linguistiques doivent aussi passer un examen de français de l’Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF). En outre, les ordres professionnels peuvent demander à leurs membres de se soumettre, durant leur carrière, à des examens de compétences linguistiques en français.

Sondage Youth Pulse Check : Rapport des résultats du sondage - Nigam, Sunita (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2022)
This document outlines the most important findings of the Youth Pulse Check, a mental health survey filled out by 456 English-speaking youth between the ages of 18-29 from 14 regions across the province of Quebec. Although 90% of respondents said they struggled at least somewhat often with their mental wellbeing and 81% of respondents, said that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased their struggles to feel well at a level 3 or more on a scale of 1 to 5, the survey revealed that many English-speaking youth feel there are significant gaps and barriers in accessing mental health services in their region. If many youth reported having sought out help in the past without success—meeting with barriers such as long wait lists, the prohibitive costs of mental health support, or the unavailability of services in English— other youth reported not having sought out help because of a lack of information about services to which they might turn.

2021 Employment Survey of English-speaking Quebecers and Organizations - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
This report explores the employment experiences of English speakers in Québec as well as the issues and needs they face when it comes to navigating the labour market. English-speaking Quebecers, who are Québec’s official language minority community, sit at the intersections of various identities and communities from which diverse challenges and opportunities arise. At the same time, there are shared experiences of being an English speaker in Québec. One of them is the socioeconomic status of the English-speaking community as a whole. Despite the historical position of English speakers as a socioeconomic elite in Québec, today’s English-speaking community is collectively characterized by higher unemployment rates and lower incomes when compared to the French-speaking majority.

Bill 96 & Employment of English Speakers in Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
On May 24, 2022, Québec’s National Assembly passed Bill 96, An Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Québec. The bill, which presents significant modifications to The Charter of the French Language (Bill 101), as well as other existing legislation, was passed more than a year after it was introduced. On June 1, 2022, Bill 96 received royal assent and some of its clauses came into effect immediately. Other clauses of the bill will come into effect at later dates.

Employment Profile of English Speakers in Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
A review of available data on the employment status of English speakers in Québec reveals that English speakers — who represent 13.8% of Québec’s population and 14.3% of its labour force — face considerable challenges in the labour market. English speakers in most regions of Québec have higher unemployment rates and lower aftertax median incomes compared to French speakers, who represent 85.3% of the population.

English-Language Vocational and Technical Training in Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the role of vocational and technical training in meeting urgent labour market needs, as well as the broader economic and social benefits it provides to individuals and societies. Vocational and technical training (VTT), which aims to equip students with hands-on skills for direct entry into the labour market, is offered at the secondary and college level in Québec. The majority of Québec’s VTT programs are offered in French and primarily serve the French-speaking majority in Québec, who represent 85.3% of the province’s population. There is a smaller ecosystem of English-language VTT programs, which are offered primarily to Québec’s English speakers, who account for 13.8% of the population.

Formation professionelle et technique en anglais au Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
Dans les dernières années, la formation professionnelle et technique (FPT) suscite beaucoup d’intérêt, notamment pour son potentiel de combler les besoins urgents du marché du travail. Ses avantages économiques et sociaux, tant pour les individus que pour la société en général, font l’objet d’un engouement renouvelé. La formation professionnelle et technique vise à outiller la population étudiante de compétences concrètes leur permettant d’intégrer rapidement le marché du travail. Au Québec, elle est offerte aux niveaux secondaire et collégial. La plupart des programmes de FPT québécois se déroulent en français et s’adressent à un public d’expression française qui, rappelons-le, représente la majorité (85,3 %) des Québécois∙e∙s. Il existe malgré tout un petit écosystème de programmes de FPT en anglais, destiné principalement aux personnes québécoises d’expression anglaise (qui correspondent à 13,8 % de population totale de la province).

French-Language Training for the Workforce : A review of French-language training programs for the workforce in Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
This report examines the status of French-language workforce programs (FLWPs) in Québec. FLWPs consist of language learning that is specifically designed to increase the integration of workers into the labour market by focusing on the vocabulary and language skills they need to improve their employability. In this report, we conducted an inventory of FLWPs that are available to French-language learners and identified the key needs, gaps and areas for improvement in the ecosystem.

Profil d'emploi des Québécois d'expression anglaise au Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
Une révision des données disponibles sur le statut d’emploi des Québécois d’expression anglaise au Québec révèle que les Québécois d’expression anglaise — qui représentent 13.8% de la population du Québec et 14.3% de sa population active — font face à des difficultés considérables sur le marché du travail. Les Québécois d’expression anglaise dans la majorité des régions du Québec connaissent un taux de chômage supérieur et un revenu médian net inférieur aux francophones, qui représentent pour leur part 85.3% de la population.

Programmes de francisation de la main-d'oeuvre au Québec : Évaluation des programmes de francisation de la main-d'oeuvre québécoise - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
Le présent rapport se penche sur l’état des programmes de francisation pour la main-d’oeuvre (PFMO) au Québec. Les PFMO sont des cours de français spécifiquement conçus pour accroître l’intégration des apprenantes et apprenants de langues sur le marché du travail en étant axés sur le vocabulaire et les compétences linguistiques qui contribuent à leur employabilité. Dans ce rapport nous avons recensé les PFMO offerts aux apprenantes et apprenants de langue française, et relevé les besoins clés, les lacunes et les possibilités d’amélioration au sein de l’écosystème.

Résumé du mémoire législatif du Comité spécial sur le projet de loi no 96, Loi sur la langue officielle et commune du Qu(e)ébec, le français. - Comité Spécial sur la politique linguistique (2021)
Le Comité spécial sur la politique linguistique (« Comité spécial ») allègue que le projet de loi no 96 sur la modernisation de la Charte de la langue française redéfinit la structure juridique du Québec et du Canada de façon fondamentale et illégitime. Il établit la primauté de la langue française au-dessus de toute autre considération dans la pratique du droit et la gouvernance. Ce repositionnement linguistique est incompatible avec les droits individuels, la justice naturelle, les droits de la personne, les droits civils, l’unité nationale et la notion d’un Canada symétriquement bilingue.

The Importance of Resurrecting English-speaking Healthcare Services in Québec - Jackson-Cappuccino, Ella (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
French is the first language of 71.2% of Quebecers. For the remaining 27.9%, communication outside of this language can be difficult, especially in regard to health care (Ouimet et. al 3).This is of concern as those who seek medical attention or health resources may not be provided adequate care given the linguistic barrier. Particularly, it is Québec’s Englishspeaking minority that is most affected by this issue (Ouimet et. al 3). Within this minority, there are still hundreds of thousands of English-speaking individuals who desire to seek health services in their first official language. The wish does not simply arise due to a lack of bilingualism. Evidence shows that in times of crisis - when individuals look to communicate a matter of importance - they most often revert to their mother tongue (Silver 686). Without resources designed to cater to the English-speaking population, the government subjects this linguistic minority group to unequal health care services.

Executive Summary of Task Force Legislative Brief on Bill 96, An Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Qu(e)ébec - Task Force on Linguistic Policy (2021)
The Task Force on Linguistic Policy (“Task Force”) submits that Bill 96, the proposed modernization of the Charter of the French Language, redefines and restructures Quebec’s and Canada’s legal structure in fundamental and illegitimate ways. It institutes the primacy of the French language above all other considerations in law and governance. This linguistic re-engineering is incompatible with individual rights, natural justice, human and civil rights, national unity and a bilingual country.

Le présent rapport donne une vue d’ensemble du Forum et des principaux messages à retenir.

Opening Remarks by QCGN President, the Honourable Marlene Jennings, P.C., LLB to the Committee on Culture and Education : Special Consultations and Public Hearings on Bill 96, an Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Quebec - Jennings, Marlene (2021)

Brief to the National Assembly Committee on Culture and Education : Special Consultations and Public Hearings on Bill 96, an Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Quebec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2021)
In this brief, the QCGN articulates three sets of concerns: first, Bill 96 fundamentally alters the Quebec state, which is of concern to all Quebecers. Second, Bill 96 will make it harder to do business in Quebec, which is also of concern to all Quebecers. Third, Bill 96 will have adverse impacts on the 1.1 million Quebecers who belong to the English-speaking minority. The QCGN supports the policy goal of promoting the French language in Quebec, but suggests there are other ways to achieve this goal in an inclusive manner, to the benefit of all Quebecers.

As part of Quebec’s English-speaking community, as artists, storytellers, dramatists and performers embedded in and contributing to Quebec’s cultural life, we are deeply troubled by the character, spirit and content of Bill 96, and the negative impact it threatens to have on Quebec’s English-language arts community.

Black in Quebec Presents : In Focus - Davids, John; Fang, Xiaoyan (Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC), 2021)
Due to the Information Gaps pertaining to the well-being of the ESBC, the project collected detailed, qualitative information from members of Quebec's ESBC through conducting Focus Groups. These were meant to better inform the project about different aspects of the community such as the challenges facing the ESBC and solutions which should be considered. This process occurred in two parts, one-on-one interviews with members of the ESBC as well as group discussions with members of the seniors in the ESBC. Ultimately, upon conducting the Focus Groups, the Black in Quebec team was provided with a large amount of detailed, qualitative data derived directly from community members. This document presents the findings from the Focus Groups which are organized in two parts: challenges identified and solution based responses. Given that the Focus Group discussions were semistructured and participants offered varying levels of details, the findings reflect distinct issues or solutions identified by the participants in no particular order but were categorized thematically. Certain findings may have overlapped more than one theme.

Quebec's English-speaking Black Community : An Analysis of the Outcomes and Information Gaps - Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC) (2021)
Black in Quebec (BIQ) is a research project being undertaken by the Black Community Resource Center (BCRC), a non-profit organization founded in 1995, which serves Montreal’s English-speaking Black Community (ESBC) by providing individuals with services and information that they need. The BIQ project seeks to answer the Research Question: What is the relative well-being of the English-speaking Black community in Quebec? The relatively unique positioning of the ESBC in the Quebec landscape, being both a visible minority and linguistic minority group, necessitates that research be conducted to further understanding of the experiences and situations facing this community, which are particular to the group or shared more widely across society. The overall vision of this project is to consolidate the collection and dissemination of data that pertains to Quebec’s English-speaking Black community and share this information across a variety of institutions, including Black community organizations, public institutions, and social research groups.

Protecting the Respiratory Health of Québec's Youth Population - Pattem, Alexandre (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
Transportation traffic is one of the main sources of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), whether it emerges from trucks, buses, or car emissions (Government of Québec 2021). NO2 is formed from the “liberation of nitrogen contained in fuel and nitrogen contained in combustion air during combustion processes” (Government of Canada 2013). When released, NO2 has negative effects on human respiratory systems, especially those of teenagers and children (Wing, Sam E. et al 2018, 1-2). Growing evidence demonstrates that systems of asthma, for example, are likely to be aggravated or triggered in this youth segment of the population (Gillespie-Bennett, J. et al 2011, 303).

Bill 96, an Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Québec - Townshippers' Association (2021)
Following careful consideration of the proposed changes to existing legislation put forth in Bill 96, Townshippers’ Association is compelled by its mandate to advocate on behalf of the English-speaking community in the historical Eastern Townships to react and raise concerns as they may apply to the diverse communities in our region. While in full agreement that the protection and promotion of the French language and culture is imperative to preserving Quebec’s unique character, the Board of Directors of Townshippers’ Association deplores the government’s attempts to achieve this through an omnibus piece of legislation and its sweeping use of the notwithstanding clause. It is our considered opinion that Bill 96 is not so much a measure designed to raise the status of French within the province and work against its perceived decline in the public sphere, but one aimed at achieving a certain level of social control over the access to, the use, and overall presence of, English within Quebec.

Prioriser la diversité des élèves du système scolaire québécois - Advisory Board on English Education (2021)
La CELA ayant déjà formulé des conseils sur l’inclusion en classe et sur l’éducation des Autochtones dans des mémoires antérieurs à l’intention du ministre, ces deux volets ne seront pas abordés directement ici. Il sera plutôt question de la discrimination et de ses effets, ainsi que de la promotion de l’inclusion en milieu scolaire, dans les programmes d’études, au regard de la réussite des élèves et dans la formation du personnel enseignant. Les études que nous avons consultées portent en grande partie sur le racisme. Certes, le racisme est une question particulière, mais on sait que les mentalités à l’origine des comportements racistes entraînent souvent aussi la discrimination à l’égard de « l’autre », quel qu’il soit, et que les stratégies correctives sont souvent similaires.

Prioritizing Student Diversity in Québec’s Education System - Advisory Board on English Education (2021)
In previous briefs to the Minister, the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) has given advice on inclusion in the classroom and on Indigenous education, so this brief will not address these two issues directly. It will, instead, consider the impact of discrimination and the promotion of inclusion in the school environment, the curriculum, student achievement, and teacher education. Much of the research we have identified relates to racism, and there are certainly issues specific to racist behaviour, but we recognize that the mindset that causes racist behaviour often causes discrimination against “others” of all sorts and that the remediating strategies are often similar.

Diversity and Inclusion in Québec's Nonprofit Sector - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
Insufficient diversity and inclusion within the nonprofit sector is a longstanding issue facing organizations across Québec, and Canada more generally. At present, the nonprofit volunteer and workforce do not adequately reflect the diversity of the province’s population. Minority communities do not see themselves represented and a lack of participation excludes their lived experiences from the decision making process. There are several actions that organizations can take in pursuit of creating more heterogeneous teams that invite meaningful participation; each of which requires commitment at all levels of governance in a nonprofit.

Brief Presented to The House of Common Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages Submitted by the Quebec English School Boards Association - Quebec English School Boards Association (2021)
The Quebec English School Boards Association was founded in 1929. The role of the association is to represent the nine English school boards of Québec as well as the Littoral School Board, a special status school board. Our member boards cover the full geographic territory of Québec with some board territories covering more than 400,000 square kilometres, equal to the land area of Spain. Our board student enrolments range from 1,300 (Eastern Shores in the Gaspé region) to more than 25,000 for each of the 2 boards serving the Island of Montr al. Our network is comprised of about 340 schools and adult centres, some with enrolment well below 100 to as many as 2,000. Our boards serve the youth sector from Kindergarten to Secondary V (grade 11). They also deliver Adult Education and Vocational Training. Some of our boards offer pre-kindergarten programs to 4-year-old children and the Adult and Vocational sectors cater to students 16 years of age and older. All told there are approximately 100,000 students in the minority-language English public school system.

COVID-19 Survey Report II - Literacy Quebec (LQ) (2021)
While the pandemic has forced a lot of swift changes, the majority of Literacy Quebec's member organizations have been able to adapt. In fact, 8 out of 9 respondents claimed to have successfully transitioned at least some of their programs and services online. However, while most organizations were able to move to some type of online- learning model, a select few reported having no available tutors/volunteers. Some of the reasons ranged from a lack of interest (i.e. volunteers originally signed up to interact with others in person), or a lack of confidence in using technology.

Political Engagement of Indigenous Youth in Québec - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
According to the 2016 census, 1.2% of Québec’s population is indigenous (Page 2017) and 27.3% of that population is between 15 and 34, or the youth (Statistics Canada 2017). So far, Québec has had two indigenous members of government and there are none occupying official chairs nowadays (National Assembly of Québec). There is an issue of underrepresentation that affects the present and future of indigenous youth.
