Quebec Community Groups Network Brief to Committee on Culture and Education : Special Consultations on Bill 40: An Act to amend mainly the Education Act with regard to school organization and governance - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2019)
The Quebec Community Groups Network (“QCGN”) has not been invited to appear before the Committee in the course of its special consultations on Bill 40. Nonetheless, the QCGN submits this brief to the Committee. In addition to providing an excellent education to students, Quebec’s English public schools exist to preserve and promote the language and unique culture of English-speaking Quebec. Schools are key and central institutions of the English-speaking community of Quebec. The Government of Quebec must recognize and support the linguistic and cultural rights of Quebec’s English-speaking community. Management and control of our educational institutions cannot be unilaterally restricted. At the same time, the English-speaking community of Quebec recognizes the need for reforms to the governance of its educational institutions.

Quebec Community Groups Network Brief to House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages : Full Implementation of the Official Languages Act in the Canadian Justice System - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2017)
The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) is pleased to submit the following brief to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages’ (LANG) study on the Full Implementation of the Official Languages Act in the Canadian Justice System. We understand the Committee’s objective is to examine how and to what extent the Official Languages Act is applied in areas of justice that fall under federal jurisdiction. The Committee should know that English-speaking Quebec does not yet possess the level of capacity in this sector represented by organizations like the Fédération des associations de juristes d'expression française de common law, the Centre canadien de français juridique, or the Réseau national de formation en justice. We do not have researched and coherent policy proposals, nor even a developed Quebec-wide network of English-speaking jurists. We are hopeful however that this capacity will develop, and the QCGN continues to actively support the newly formed Association of English-speaking Jurists of Quebec (AESJQ), who have submitted their own brief towards this study.

Report of the Priority Setting Steering Committee Related to the 2018 Community Consultation - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2018)
In March 2018, the Government of Canada renewed its official languages strategy, called the Action Plan for Official Languages 2018-2023: Investing in Our Future. Amongst other investments contained in the Action Plan, the Department of Canadian Heritage (PCH), was provided resources to increase the amount of funds available to the community sector through the Cooperation with the Community Sector – Development of Official Language Communities program, and, a development fund was established specifically for English-speaking Quebec.

Meetings with community stakeholders were held in regions throughout Quebec. These culminated with a sectoral meeting in Quebec City on November 15, 2019. QCGN representatives participated as observers at all of the meetings. We made a presentation at the sectoral meeting.

English-speaking Quebec worked closely and in good faith with our Francophone counterparts in the rest of Canada, Ministers of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages and this Committee during its historic study to modernize the Act, beginning in 2017.

Senior Care Services in English in Quebec : Executive Summary of Final Report and Recommendations of the Ministry of Health and Social Services - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2023)
QCGN’s Access to Justice in English Project (“the AJEQ Project”) identifies and researches areas where the English-speaking community are experiencing difficulty accessing their rights, with a strong focus on community access to public services. It leverages information as a strategic resource to understand and improve access to justice in English in Quebec. The second issue studied by the Project was access to health care services for seniors in English through Quebec’s SAPA program (Soutien à l’autonomie des personnes âgées). The issue was selected on the basis of prior research conducted by the AJEQ Project, including a population survey of 1,601 English-speaking Quebecers conducted by Quorus Consulting Group in September 2021, which revealed that hospitals and CLSC care were among the most widely accessed provincial government services by English-speaking Quebecers, and that more than one in three English-speaking Quebecers who had accessed these services in the past two years found it difficult to do so in English. The issue of senior care was under close scrutiny at the time the issue was selected, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent coroner’s inquiry into pandemic-related deaths at seniors’ residences across Quebec.

The Fund financed 10 innovative projects that targeted particular needs and priorities of vulnerable English-speaking youth, seniors and newcomers. Each project, in its own way, served to improve job skills or help maintain basic socio-economic security of English-speaking Quebecers. In the following pages, you will learn more about these projects – what they set out to do, what they’ve accomplished and how they served to enhance the vitality of English-speaking Quebec.

The Government of Quebec must recognize and support the linguistic and cultural rights of Quebec’s English-speaking community. At the same time, the English-speaking community of Quebec recognizes the need for reforms. In 2015, the community conducted a wide-ranging consultation, and prepared recommendations to the Minister of Education and Higher Education on the matter. Bill 40 largely ignores those recommendations, particularly the recommendations for improving the electoral system. It does not reflect a model of education governance by and for the English- speaking community.

Suggesting Change : The Situation of the English-speaking Minority of Quebec and Proposals for Change - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2002)
Actions by the Government of Canada, such as the Speech from the Throne in January 2001, the nomination of Minister Stéphane Dion to coordinate the Federal Government's policy on official languages and chair the team of Ministers directly involved in Official Languages Policy and Program and his desire to develop an action plan to support the application of the Official Languages Act are encouraging. The demonstration of the political will of the Government to fulfill its obligation to ensure the full support of the development of vibrant and healthy Official-language minority communities throughout Canada is absolutely essential. It is, thus, incumbent on the Government that there is understanding and acceptance of the needs and realities of each linguistic minority community by both the majority populations and by those within the Canadian Government whose job is to develop and implement policy in support of the Francophone and Anglophone minority communities. The Official Languages Act must ensure the means and mechanisms for coordinated action and mobilization of the necessary resources to empower official minority language communities. As such, the action plan put forward by Minister Dion must be aimed at enabling the English-speaking minority in Quebec to build its own capacity, using solid facts and broad-based knowledge to be able to work with all governments to maintain and develop strong, vibrant English-speaking communities throughout Quebec.

A quarter of a century ago, the Quebec Community Groups Network was founded with a mandate to build the understanding and cooperation needed to develop strong, reasoned policy to ensure sustainable growth for English-speaking Quebec. During a strategic planning exercise in 2013, the membership approved an updated mission: The QCGN is a centre of evidence-based expertise and collective action on the strategic issues affecting the development and vitality of English-speaking Quebec. The mission and actions of the QCCN support our Network’s vision that English-speaking Quebec is a diverse, confident, recognized, and respected national linguistic minority that actively participates in and contributes to the social, economic, cultural, and political life of Quebec and Canadian society.

Assessing the English-speaking Community's Capacity to Access Arts, Culture, and Heritage in Nine Regions of Quebec : A Report on Phase One of the "Enhancing Access to Cultural Expression" Project (EACE) - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN); Palmer, Lise (2010)
In 2008, the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) Board of Directors passed a formal resolution to prioritize the development of the Arts, Culture and Heritage sector. This area was prioritized by a majority of members in the Network and was supported by the Board. An Arts, Culture and Heritage working group was created to develop a policy framework in this area to streamline and guide the activities of the Network. The main partners in this endeavour were the English Language Arts Network (ELAN) represented by Guy Rodgers, the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) represented by Kevin O'Donnell and Dwane Wilkin and the QCGN represented by Sylvia Martin-Laforge. Jane Needles also participated in the working group representing both the QCGN and ELAN. The policy framework, which was completed in November 2008, identified key areas of intervention over the next five years to support the dynamic growth and development of the cultural expression of English-speaking Quebec. The first was a project to access cultural expression through expanded partnerships. This current project “Enhancing Access to Cultural Expression” is a direct result of the prioritization of access to cultural expression. The other areas of priority included recognition and support through visibility - which is currently being addressed through the RAEV project being implemented by ELAN - and the creative economy - an issue yet to be addressed.

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.

A Brief on Bill 86 : An Act to Modify the Organization and Governance of School Boards to Give Schools a Greater Say in Decision-making and Ensure Parents' Presence Within Each School Board's Decision-making Body - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (2016)
To say that the English‐speaking community dislikes the proposed Bill 86 would be a gross understatement. To say the English‐speaking community views Bill 86 as an attack on its continued existence in Quebec is the more accurate view of the community’s feelings about this “projet de loi”. The community senses, with this bill, a fundamental shift that seeks to completely submerge and eradicate any public sign of the presence of the English‐speaking community in Quebec. The community feels threatened not only about the future of its schools, but equally about its continued existence as an entity. The impression is that the present government is pursuing a systematic dismantling of the public institutions serving the English‐speaking community and increasingly diminishing its role in the public life of the province. The importance of the presence of our public institutions cannot be understated either, as they are an extremely important social construct acting as central pillars or anchors on which our community is built. The dictionary defines an institution as follows: “an organization, establishment, foundation, society, or the like, devoted to the promotion of a particular cause or program, especially one of a public, educational, or charitable character.”

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.

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.

A Response to the Advisory Board on English Education from Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (1994)

A Response to the Question "What is the Nature of the Protestant School System as this Time?" for the Protestant Committee of the Superior Council of Education - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (1965)
Quebec Federation of Home & School Associations (QFHSA) is pleased to be part of the consultation process with the Protestant milieu on the nature of the Protestant school, undertaken this year by the Protestant Committee. Time did not permit us to circulate widely the question "What is the Nature of the Protestant School System in Quebec at this Time?", but it was discussed by the Board of Directors and a representative number of our local association members were consulted. It is also important to point out that while the membership by local association in QFHSA is within the Protestant school system, as defined by our Letters Patent, individual family membership is open to all. Both the WFHSA Constitution and that of its parent organization, The Canadian Home and School and Parent-Teacher Federation, states what we are non-sectarian. Having said that, we are well aware of the role that Home and School Associations play in the Protestant school system where parent volunteers are in close contact with students, teachers, and administrators who make up the system known as Protestant.

A Statement from Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations to the Superior Council of Education on the State of the Condition of Teaching in the Province of Quebec - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (1984)
Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) is a parent group, working as volunteers at the school, provincial and national levels. QFHSA takes particular pride in the fact, that over the last forty years, parents, as volunteers, have seconded the schools' efforts to provide assistance in areas of school life, to upgrade or enhance the school's environment and, thereby, benefit the students. As an adjunct to direct involvement at the school level, though its resolutions addressed, over the years, to various levels involved in the educational process, QFHSA has pinpointed areas its members felt needed either more funding, changing, support, introduction, etc., as the case may be. These will be referred to specifically later on.

A Submission to the Commission of Enquiry on the Position of the French Language and of Language Rights in the Province of Quebec on Improving French Language Education for Non French-speaking Children - Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA) (1969)
It is our purpose in this brief to show that, while we accept the principle that all people in Quebec should learn to speak French well, there are difficulties which prevent them from doing so. Present teaching methods and the numbers of French-speaking teachers in the English schools are inadequate. Many parents in Quebec are denied the right to choose French schools for their children — thus the surest path to good French is closed to them. At the same time, there exists among English-speaking people anxiety regarding their linguistic rights in the province. This hampers the expansion of the French language outside the French community.
