English-speaking Quebec and the Modernization of the Official Languages Act : Brief Submitted to the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages Study on Canadians' Views about Modernizing the Official Language Act - Sandilands, Marion (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), 2018)
The Quebec Community Groups Network (“QCGN”) welcomes this opportunity to contribute to this Committee’s study on modernizing the Official Languages Act (“the Act”). In the spirit of modernization, the QCGN takes this opportunity to present a picture of the contemporary English-speaking community of Quebec. As this Committee noted in 2011, there are certain widely-held myths regarding this community. The QCGN hopes to contribute to a modernized understanding of this community and its role as a unique and important official language minority community in Canada.

Working Papers on English Language Institutions in Quebec - Schachter, Susan (Alliance Quebec (AQ), 1982)
This project was designed to provide a resource for Quebec's English-speaking community and others who feel the need for information about themselves and those institutions usually identified as "English". The decision that such a resource was needed was based on both objective and subjective criteria. Objectively, the English-speaking population of Quebec is, and always has been, an unstable one; that is, large numbers of English-speaking people have always been among those moving to and from the province, Ieaving behind a relatively small core of their fellows with deep roots in Quebec. This high turn-over in population has affected the continuity of the English-speaking community. Such a state of fluidity has made it difficult to evolve a distinctive English-speaking cultural identity with Quebec as its focal point. On the other hand, it has Ied to a discontinuity in the knowledge of our economic, political and cultural role in Quebec. Hence, the need for a resource such as this.

2011 National Household Survey - Shahar, Charles (The Jewish Community of Montreal, 2015)
This report examines the demographic characteristics of the Holocaust Survivor population in the Montreal metropolitan area based on figures from the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS). The findings compare the characteristics of Holocaust Survivors with Jewish seniors who are not Survivors, and the total population of elderly living in the Montreal CMA. The report also identifies those Survivors who are most vulnerable (physically, economically, socially) and in need of community interventions. As the Survivor population ages and its needs increase, it is imperative to understand the unique circumstances and challenges this population faces.

Access to Justice for Minority Populations : Focus on the English-speaking Communities of Quebec: 2000-2016 - Shohet, Linda (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), 2016)
The objectives of this project are to research access to justice issues experienced by English-speaking Quebecers from their perspective, to establish metrics for measuring access to justice that fit the needs of community members, and to make recommendations to mitigate or overcome gaps and challenges for the English-speaking community of Quebec. The guiding question is: What is the lived experience for an English-speaking Quebecer in accessing legal and judicial information and services or in interacting with any of the social services that are now understood to be implicated in the broader concept of access to justice? This literature review is the first deliverable from Phase 1 of the project with an expectation that the findings will inform the second deliverable — a research plan to fill gaps in knowledge about the reality of access to justice for the anglophone population of Quebec.

The Community Learning Centre Initiative : Framework for Action - Smith, William J. (Leading English Education and Resource Network (LEARN), 2016)
In the province of Quebec, English language-minority communities do not always have equitable access to education, health and/or social services. This challenge is particularly acute for English educational institutions and communities, especially in those regions where Anglophones make up a small percentage of the total population and the English school is the only English- language public sector institution in the community. The Community Learning Centre (CLC) Initiative helps to address this gap by building partnerships between English schools and organizations/institutions in their communities. These partnerships, facilitated by a Community Development Agent (CDA), leverage resources that benefit students, their families and the broader community. Recognizing the value of the CLC Initiative, the Association of Directors General of English School Boards of Québec (ADGESBQ) has supported its development since its inception.

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.

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.

Literacy Access Project : Lifelong Learning Collections - The Centre for Literacy of Quebec (CFL) (2007)
The Literacy Access Project represents the second phase of a larger initiative undertaken by The Centre for Literacy to formally assess and adjust its local mandate. The ultimate goal of this strategic effort was to formulate a long-term sustainability plan in the context of important changes that have been taking place in the English community in Quebec in recent years. These changes include a shrinking population base, cuts in provincial and federal funding, new responsibilities for school boards, and the recent creation of community learning centres in various regions of the province. On the basis of a 2006 Community Consultation and building on the 2007 Summer Institute on Libraries and Literacy, The Centre determined that it needed to develop more solid and lasting links between libraries and literacy groups that support English populations.

Understanding Literacy and Family Literacy Needs of Anglophone Adults in Quebec : Research Summaries - The Centre for Literacy of Quebec (CFL) (2011)
The Understanding literacy and family literacy needs of Anglophone adults in Quebec project aimed 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 English-speaking 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 which showed large disparities in literacy performance among Quebec Anglophones. The findings suggested differences in need from one community to another that may require targeted services. This project set out to fill this knowledge gap and to insert LES into the ongoing discussion about Anglophones in Quebec. All Quebec English-language umbrella groups stand to benefit from the findings in terms of proposing better policy, planning new services and using resources more efficiently. There may be opportunities for new partnerships to develop solutions to some challenges not previously seen as linked to literacy. The project will also provide a useful road map for identifying promising new research avenues that would assist LES organizations in getting a more detailed picture of the communities they are aiming to serve.

We agree with the Commission that “the management of diversity, especially religious diversity... appears above all to pose a problem.” The appearance of a problem seems to have been provoked in large measure by post 9/11 “alarmist media coverage.” Careful reflection will show that there is no problem in reality and that the alarm is not worthy of Quebecers. The ESCC therefore counsels strongly against the temptation to tamper with the current constellation of relevant rights and privileges in Quebec; it is a product of the unique evolution of Quebec society and functions well as “a fair, original model of collective life of which we are proud.”

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.

Déclaration sur le projet de loi 21 : Loi sur la laïcité de l’État - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2009)
Le Conseil catholique d’expression anglaise a été fondé en 1981 avec la mission d'agir comme catalyseur, rassembleur et facilitateur de l'action collective pour la communauté catholique anglophone au Québec. En tant qu'organisme inspiré par l'enseignement social catholique, le Conseil se préoccupe du bien commun et s’inquiète donc des implications du projet de loi 21 (Loi sur la laïcité de l'État) pour le bien-être social et civique de la société québécoise. Pour l’essentiel, les objections du Conseil à l'égard de la législation actuelle sont semblables à celles que nous avons exprimées dans notre mémoire de 2013 sur le projet de loi 60 (Charte affirmant les valeurs de la laïcité d'État, de la neutralité religieuse et de l'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, et fournissant un cadre pour les demandes d'accommodement).

For the English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC), the care of seniors, especially the frail elderly, is a moral and social imperative for us all. Our community has created a number of specialized institutions and services over the past one hundred and fifty years that allow us to carry out our responsibilities to seniors, but Quebec faces many challenges if we want to protect and promote fully the interests of older citizens.

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.

We also welcome the initiative of Mme Marguerite Blais, the Minister Responsible for Seniors, to hold public hearings on seniors’ living conditions in Quebec, an issue on which our community and its institutions serving the elderly have considerable experience and great concern.

The ESCC therefore counsels strongly against the temptation to tamper with the current constellation of relevant rights and privileges in Quebec; it is a product of the unique evolution of Quebec society and functions well as “a fair, original model of collective life of which we are proud.”

Report on the Proposed Ethics and Religious Culture Program - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2006)
We affirm the positive objectives of this program, namely: 1) To incorporate ethics and religion into public education; 2) To foster students’ capacity to know and express their moral and religious convictions within a pluralistic context; 3) To develop the capacity for meaningful dialogue about diverse moral and religious convictions; 4) To anchor this program in the distinctive cultural and religious heritage of Quebec. However, we recommend some major revisions to the program. Five interrelated areas stand out for us.

Soumis au Comité spécial Mourir avec Dignité par Le conseil catholique d’expression anglaise - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2010)
En 1980, nous, un group d’individus représentant divers secteurs de la communauté Catholique anglophone et ses organisations, nous sommes réunis dans le but de consolider nos ressources humaines et matérielles, en vue du développement de notre communauté. Cela a mené, en 1981, à la création du Conseil catholique d’expression anglaise (CCEA), ayant le mandat d’agir comme point central dans la coordination de la communauté Catholique anglophone de la région urbaine de Montréal. Au cours des ans, l’CCEA a assumé un rôle plus proéminant, élargissant son activité à toute la province et au-delà. S’inspirant de la compréhension Catholique contemporaine du rôle de la communauté laïque dans le monde moderne, Le conseil catholique d’expression anglaise aide à promouvoir les valeurs de sa communauté, et défend ces valeurs dans le processus de résolution des problèmes ayant un impact sur cette communauté. Le conseil d’administration se compose d’hommes et de femmes du secteur public et privé, tous bénévoles, qui s’engagent à appuyer leur communauté dans les domaines de l’éducation, de la santé et des services sociaux, de l’animation sociale, de la culture et de la justice sociale.

Statement on Bill 21 : An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2009)
The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) was founded in 1981 with the mission to act as a catalyst, convener and facilitator of collective action for the English-speaking Catholic community of Quebec. As an organization inspired by Catholic social teaching, the Council is concerned for the common good and is apprehensive as to the implications of Bill 21 (An Act respecting the laicity of the State) for the social and civic welfare of Quebec society. In the main, the objections the Council have regarding the current legislation are similar to those we expressed in our 2013 brief on Bill 60 (Charter affirming the values of State secularism and religious neutrality and of equality between women and men, and providing a framework for accommodation requests)1 However, there are a number of critical differences between the 2013 legislation and that introduced in 2019.

Submitted to the Select Committee on Dying with Dignity - The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (2010)
In 1980, a group of individuals who represented various sectors of the English-speaking Catholic community and its organizations met with the idea of consolidating our human and material resources for the development of our community. This led to the formation in 1981 of the English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) with a mandate to act as a focal point in coordinating the English-speaking Catholic community of Greater Montreal. Over the years, the ESCC has assumed a higher profile which now extends throughout the Province and beyond. Inspired by the contemporary Catholic understanding of the role of the laity in the modern world, the English Speaking Catholic Council assists in the promotion of its community’s values and advocates those values in the resolution of issues affecting this community. The Board of Directors is made up of women and men from both the private and public sectors, all volunteers, who come together with a commitment to support their community in education, health and social services, community animation, culture and social justice.

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.

Black Communities Speak Out About Violence - Tichit, Laurence; Jaccoud, Mylène (Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC), 2009)
This project was an initiative of six Black community organizations in Montreal concerned with the problem of violence. It was designed to unfold in three consecutive phases: 1) establish a subject overview by conducting focus groups with members of Montreal's Black communities, 2) organize a roundtable discussion with key people involved in the issue, and 3) develop an intervention plan. This report examines each of these phases which were aimed at defining the bases for mobilization and presenting possible strategies to address the issue of violence within the Black communities.
