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.

Québec’s Best Language Training Practices in Action : Francisation du Mont Sutton - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT)

Un aperçu de la pauvreté dans les communautés d'expression anglaise du Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2023)
Le Québec compte plus de 1,2 million de Québécois d’expression anglaise, soit 14,9 % de la population de la province. Les données du recensement du Canada de 2021 indiquent que les Québécois d’expression anglaise occupent une position économique plus précaire que leurs homologues francophones, qu'ils connaissent des taux de pauvreté et de chômage plus élevés et qu'ils gagnent des revenus médians plus faibles. Les recherches menées par PERT ont mis en évidence certains des obstacles et défis spécifiques auxquels sont confrontés les Québécois d’expression anglaise en matière d'intégration et de rétention sur le marché du travail au Québec, notamment le manque de formation en français pour the marché du travail, le manque de services d'employabilité en anglais, le manque de formation professionnelle en anglais et le manque mesures de soutien globales. Ces difficultés d'emploi ont un impact sur les résultats des Québécois d’expression anglaise sur le marché du travail et ont été associées à des taux de pauvreté plus élevés. En outre, nombre de ces difficultés, en particulier l'absence de services d'accompagnement (par exemple, le logement ou la sécurité alimentaire), peuvent directement contribuer à la pauvreté et en résulter.

Vers un projet de loi 96 plus efficace : Inclusion des Québécois d'expression anglaise dans la promotion et la protection de la langue française via l'emploi - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)
Lors de sa présentation du 12 novembre 2021 portant sur sa vision économique pour le Québec, le premier ministre Legault a réitéré l’engagement du gouvernement à réduire l’écart de richesse entre l’Ontario et le Québec et à augmenter la prospérité du Québec (Gouvernement du Québec, 2021a). La situation économique du Québec peut être considérée avec optimisme. Un rapport récent de Scotiabank Economics (2021) indiquait que le Québec connaissait une forte reprise économique et qu’il devançait les autres provinces canadiennes « en matière d’expansion économique pour la première fois dans l’histoire ». La vision économique que le gouvernement a pour la province repose sur cinq piliers importants, dont le développement d’une forte main-d’oeuvre. Cependant, le Québec est confronté à certaines difficultés, notamment un sévère manque de main-d’oeuvre qui, dans le deuxième trimestre de 2021, comptait plus de 190 000 postes vacants, ce qui place la province au deuxième rang après l’Ontario (Statistics Canada, 2021). Il est évident par l’annonce récente du plan « Opération main-d’oeuvre », doté d’un budget de 3,9 milliards de dollars pour lutter contre le manque de main-d’oeuvre, que le gouvernement du Québec voit comme une priorité la résolution de cette crise, et vise à s’assurer qu’aucun Québécois ne soit laissé pour compte (Gouvernement du Québec, 2021b).

Vocational and Technical Training Programs Offer Pathways to French-language Acquisition for Québec’s English Speakers - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2022)

A Policy Framework for Economic Development and Employability for the English-speaking Communities of Quebec : Submitted to the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) - Qu'anglo (2008)
Through previous research and following a number of community consultations, the QCGN had determined that there is a need for initiatives that will enable the English-speaking Communities of Quebec to work more effectively with the Government of Canada, the Government of Quebec, school boards and relevant stakeholders to more fully participate in the economy of province. Given the continuing exodus of educated and trained anglophones to seek employment opportunities elsewhere, and the difficulties faced by particular segments of the population, especially youth, visible minorities and newly arrived immigrants, who choose to seek employment and self-employment within Quebec, it was determined that an integrated and targeted approach to improve the economic development prospects of the community was required.

Regional Development of English Language Entrepreneurial Services - Qu'anglo (Youth Employment Services (YES), 2012)
YES is a non-profit organization that provides English language employability and entrepreneurship services in Quebec, principally those on the Island of Montreal. The areas of services offered are job search, entrepreneurship, mentorship and artists’ programs. In response to requests from the organizations in the regions outside of Montreal for similar services, YES has begun to develop support and delivery mechanisms that respond to the unique needs of the regions1 within a context of building economic viability. This report provides the results of the work carried out in 2011-12 to look at the feasibility of offering YES-type services in the regions, as well as the planning and development activities that should be carried out to support a broader economic development amongst English-speaking communities in Quebec.

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.

Aller de l'avant : Renforcer les capacités de recherche en lien avec les aînés d’expression anglaise du Québec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
La population canadienne vieillit plus rapidement aujourd’hui que jamais auparavant. En 2011, on estime que cinq millions de Canadiens étaient âgés de 65 ans et plus. On s’attend à ce que ce chiffre double d’ici à 22-25 ans pour atteindre 10,4 millions en 2036. Ici au Québec, les défis et les opportunités de la population vieillissante sont amplifiés. En 2011, près de 1,3 million de personnes vivant au Québec étaient âgées de 65 ans et plus. Parmi ces derniers, environ 160 000 étaient âgés de 85 ans et plus. Comme les baby-boomers (nés entre 1946 et 1966) continuent à vieillir, on estime que le nombre de personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus augmentera de 16 % de la population en 2011 à 26 % en 2031. Ceci représente un million de personnes âgées additionnel au Québec d’ici aux 30 prochaines années.

Bill 10's Impact on Access Programs : Info sheet no.6 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN))
Access Programs have been part of the process of making government funded health and social services available in English in Quebec since the 1980s. Essentially an Access Program is an inventory for a given region of which services are available in English, and where they can be accessed.

Bill 10's Impact on Advisory Committees : Info sheet no.7 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
Bill 10, provides for a new volunteer committee available, if requested, to each and every merged institution under the responsibility of a Centre Intégré (CI). The committee is known as an Advisory Committee for the specific merged institution. The role of an Advisory Committee is to make recommendations to the board of the CI into which the former institution was merged with respect to preservation of the cultural, historic, linguistic, and local characteristics of the merged institution. When applicable it also establishes the necessary ties with the foundation related to, and with the persons responsible for research activities in the merged institution. For more about the reorganization of health institutions see Info sheet no. 1 on Bill 10’s impact on the status of public institutions.

Bill 10's Impact on Foundations : Info sheet no.8 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
Many public health and social service institutions have been supported in their work over the years by a foundation, often named after the institution it supports; for example, the Batshaw Youth and Family Centres Foundation, the St Mary’s Hospital Foundation, or the Jeffery Hale-Saint Brigid’s Friends’ Foundation. In the English-speaking community some of these foundations have existed for many decades and are part of the history and identity of those groups within the English-speaking community that founded them. Bill 10 did not directly change anything that affects the legal foundation or the governance of such foundations, but the consequences of Bill 10 do have direct and real impacts on the way foundations interact with the institution they support which is now merged into another, new institution with a different name.

Bill 10's Impact on Institutional Property Ownership : Info sheet no.9 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
The institutions merged under Bill 10 into a Centre Intégré (CI) were merged by amalgamation or by grouping. Under merger by amalgamation the merged institution loses its legal identity and therefore no longer exists as an institution. The new CI assumes all of the responsibilities, liabilities and assets of the merged institution, including human resources and property. Under merger by grouping, the institution keeps its legal identity and therefore continues to exist. The new CI assumes all of the responsibilities, liabilities and assets of the grouped institution, including human resources but not property. The grouped institution keeps the ownership of its property.

Bill 10's Impact on Regional Access Committees : Info sheet no.5 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
The Government of Quebec has created Regional Access Committees on the delivery of health and social services in English. Each of Quebec’s Health Regions (two Aboriginal Health Regions excepted) is required to have a Regional Access Committee. The committees are referred to simply as Regional Committees in the legislation.

Bill 10's Impact on the Provincial Committee on the Delivery of Services in English : Info sheet no.4 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
The Government of Quebec has created a Provincial Committee (PC) on the delivery of health and social services in English. The committee is sometimes referred to as the Provincial Advisory Committee, but ‘Advisory’ is not part of its official title.

Bill 10's Impact on the Right to Complain : Info sheet no.11 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
Adoption of Bill 10 did not modify the complaints regime established by the Act respecting health services and social services. However, mention of the complaints regime is included in these Info sheets to remind interested readers that it exists, and can be used with respect to issues related to access to health and social services in English. The number of reported complaints on this topic is quite low. This may be because users are satisfied with access to services in English. But other information1 suggests that there is a level of dissatisfaction with respect to access to certain types of services, and in certain institutions that exists but is not manifested by official complaints.

Bill 10's Impact on the Status of Public Institutions : Info sheet no.1 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
Bill 10, adopted in February 2015, substantially changed certain provisions of Quebec’s Health and Social Service Act (S 4.2). In particular, it radically altered the way in which Quebec’s public health and social services system is administered. It had far-reaching effects on the status of the institutions that deliver health and social services, merging almost all institutions into 22 Centres Intégrés that now deliver all of the regionally based services. The only exceptions are seven highly specialized hospitals (five in Montreal, two in Quebec City), one institution that already resembled a Centre Intégré (in region 10), and five institutions that deliver services to the Cree, Inuit and Naskapi communities (located respectively in regions 18, 17 and 09).

Bill 10's Impact on Users' and Residents' Committees : Info sheet no.10 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
One way in which those required to utilize the services of the health and social services network administered by the province can ensure that their rights are respected, including their access to services in English, is by referring to and/or participating in a Users’ Committee or a Residents’ Committee (also know as in-patient committees). These committees may also exist in private institutions. The committees are comprised of volunteers elected by users or in-patients.

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.

Brief to the Committee on Culture and Education : Quebec and the Minority Language Educational Rights and Canada’s English Linguistic Minority Communities: A New Partnership - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2016)
Voting in elections is an intrinsic right for all Quebecers. It is beyond democratic tradition for government to capriciously remove these rights without a pressing and substantial reason. Quebec’s English public school system is a key institution of the English-speaking community of Quebec, a linguistic minority community. The management and control of these institutions is a matter of governance subject to minority language educational rights contained in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Quebec’s democratic tradition, expressed in the political rights guaranteed by the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.

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.

Our brief deals with the declining vitality of the English-speaking communities of Quebec (ESCQ) and the relative strength of the Francophone majority. The QCGN‟s goal is to demonstrate that our minority communities are not a threat to the majority, but a constituency that strengthens Quebec society. We expose the detrimental effect that Quebec's habit of emphasising an exclusionary notion of its society has on its minority population. Finally, we seek to attain official recognition of the historic and ongoing contributions our minority makes to Quebec society and achieve legal protection of minority rights and freedoms.

Un certain nombre de membres du QCGN ont exprimé leur inquiétude sur les incidences du projet de loi no 56 — la Loi sur la transparence en matière de lobbyisme — sur leurs activités. Malheureusement, la voix du secteur à but non lucratif au service de notre communauté a été largement absente des consultations publiques antérieures et en cours sur la question, ce qui entraîne beaucoup de malentendus à propos de cette législation au sein des organismes d’expression anglaise.

Profound social, economic and political changes have transformed Quebec society during the past forty years. As we enter the 21st century, we are far enough away from the most intense upheaval and emotional turbulence to look back with a measure of objectivity. As we plan for the future, it is opportune to reflect upon past conditions that brought us to where we are today. Our minority community feels vulnerable. Demographic trends are disturbing and seemingly irreversible. We often feel that the majority neither understand us nor will make any serious effort to defend us. We have to fight for our survival.

Creating Spaces for Young Quebecers : Strategic Orientations for English-speaking Youth in Quebec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2009)
Over the past decades, Francophones in Quebec have taken formal steps to preserve and promote their language and culture. To most English-speaking youth growing up in Quebec today, this makes sense and we agree that steps should be taken to protect Quebec’s uniqueness in North America. However, young English-speakers living in Quebec - from Montreal to the North Shore to the Gaspé - face their own set of unique challenges. In small English-speaking pockets scattered throughout the province, young English-speakers struggle to become bilingual, access services, create strong ties with their communities, participate in Quebec society and define their own identities. The members of the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) Youth Standing Committee have worked together over the last year to ensure that this document represents the perspectives of as many youth as possible from a wide array of regions and backgrounds. We have also worked to ensure that the process has been directed by youth and that the voices we have heard are heard by others as well. This is the first time that a significant percentage of English-speaking youth in Quebec have come together from across many regions to address the barriers young people face. It has been exciting to discuss our Quebec roots, our desire to remain in this province and our willingness to move past the linguistic tensions of previous generations. In consultations across eight regions, followed by a provincial forum, we have generated strategies for moving forward together. This document outlines strategies that youth have recommended to help achieve our collective vision for English-speaking youth in Quebec. We encourage the QCGN to work towards this vision for English-speaking youth in Quebec in collaboration with community partners, all levels of government and Francophone organizations.

There is reason for optimism around proposals for an expanded role of Treasury Board and power of the Commissioner of Official Languages in the implementation of the Act. And there are opportunities for increased support to our community’s institutions and provisions for more transparency on federal transfers directed towards our vitality; proposals that are tempered by the need for provincial cooperation.

Bill 10 adopted in February 2015, did not replace the Health and Social Services Act, often referred to as S 4.2. But it substantially changed certain of its provisions. In particular, it radically altered the way in which Quebec’s public health and social services system is administered. It changed the identity of the institutions that deliver health and social services, the composition and manner of appointment of board members, and for the first time created the possibility for at least one person coming from the English-speaking community to have a seat on each one of the 22 Centre Intégrés (CI) which now deliver all of the regionally based services. There is one CI per region where CIs exist, except Gaspé which has two, Montérégie which has three, and Montréal which has five.

Global Development Plan 2004-2009 : Revitalizing the English-speaking Communities of Quebec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2003)
The English-speaking Community of Quebec (ESC) represents multiple communities that are diverse, multicultural and multiracial in nature. The Community includes English-speakers who choose to speak or use the English language, for example, for delivery of services. The Community also includes those citizens who identify with, or have an interest in, the English language. The first step taken by the Global Development Planning Steering Committee was to review the need for a Plan to revitalize the English-speaking Community of Quebec. Why are we doing this? Is a Global Development Plan necessary? What do we hope to achieve?

Global Development Plan : Strategy to Revitalise the English Language Minority Communities of Quebec : Arts & Culture Plan - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2003)
The Global Development Plan initiative originates from a request of the Federal Government to develop a funding framework. The GDP represents an opportunity for the English-speaking community to take charge of its current stage and identity within Quebec. This would include developing a clearer picture of the English-speaking population of Quebec, where it comes from and where it's going; helping maintain the population base by encouraging a sense of belonging; raising the profile and participation level of English-speaking people at the municipal, institutional and govemment levels; promoting employment opportunities within the community for English speaking youth; initiating community projects; and maintaining dialogue with governments in the francophone community.

Global Development Plan : Strategy to Revitalize the English-language Minority Communities of Quebec : Sector Plans - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2003)
The roots of the English-speaking community in Quebec go back nearly 250 years, and have a historic place in the development of the province. While English-speaking communities traditionally established their own institutions in the areas of religion, education and health and social services, that type of community engagement dissolved to a greater extent with the Quiet Revolution and the emergence of the modern Quebec state. Now, after 30 years of exodus and isolation, the time has come for the English-speaking community to become involved, to re-establish its presence in the policy and program decision-making areas that affect the daily lives of its members.

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.

Our brief deals with the declining vitality of the English-speaking communities of Quebec (ESCQ) and the relative strength of the Francophone majority. The QCGN‟s goal is to demonstrate that our minority communities are not a threat to the majority, but a constituency that strengthens Quebec society. We expose the detrimental effect that Quebec's habit of emphasising an exclusionary notion of its society has on its minority population. Finally, we seek to attain official recognition of the historic and ongoing contributions our minority makes to Quebec society and achieve legal protection of minority rights and freedoms.

This report discusses and details one of the AJEQ Project’s candidate issues of research: access to senior health care services in English in 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.

Le Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) est un organisme qui représente quarante-huit (48) groupes communautaires d’expression anglaise, répartis dans l’ensemble du Québec. Le QCGN reconnaît que le système scolaire public anglais du Québec est une institution qui joue un rôle de premier plan dans la communauté d’expression anglaise de la province – une communauté linguistique minoritaire. La gestion et le contrôle de ses institutions sont une question de gouvernance sujette aux droits à l’instruction dans la langue de la minorité. Enchâssés dans la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés et dans la tradition démocratique québécoise, ces droits sont également énoncés et garantis par la Charte des droits et libertés de la personne du Québec.

Mémoire à la Commission de la culture et de l’éducation : Le Québec et les droits à l’instruction dans la langue de la minorité, et les communautés d’expression anglaise en situation minoritaire au Canada : Un nouveau partenariat - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2016)
Voter aux élections est un droit intrinsèque pour tous les Québécois. Mais le gouvernement va à l’encontre de sa tradition démocratique en révoquant capricieusement ce droit sans aucune raison impérieuse ou importante. Le système d’écoles publiques anglophones du Québec est une institution qui joue un rôle clé au sein de la communauté d’expression anglaise de la province — une communauté linguistique en situation minoritaire. La gestion et le contrôle de ces institutions sont une question de gouvernance qui touche les droits à l’instruction dans la langue de la minorité, ces droits étant enchâssés dans la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés et dans la tradition démocratique du Québec, ainsi qu’exprimés dans les droits politiques garantis par la Charte des droits et libertés de la personne du Québec. Le gouvernement du Québec a le devoir de reconnaître sa communauté linguistique minoritaire et de travailler en partenariat avec elle afin de garantir la gestion et le contrôle efficaces du système d’écoles publiques anglophones.

Néanmoins, le QCGN soumet le présent mémoire à la Commission. En plus d’offrir un enseignement d’excellente qualité aux élèves, les écoles publiques anglophones ont pour mission de préserver et de promouvoir la langue et la culture distinctes du Québec d’expression anglaise. Les écoles sont des institutions essentielles et centrales de la communauté d’expression anglaise du Québec. Le gouvernement du Québec doit ainsi reconnaître et appuyer les droits linguistiques et culturels de cette communauté. La gestion et le contrôle de nos établissements d’enseignement ne peuvent être limités unilatéralement.

Le Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) a depuis longtemps le mandat de recueillir, de colliger et d'articuler les besoins de la communauté d'expression anglaise du Québec, et le travail que nous avons effectué dans ce dossier au cours des dernières années a considérablement éclairé ces sections de notre mémoire.

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.
