Memo : Bill 96 and Cégeps - Dawson Teachers' Union
In the Fall, the CAQ government proposed Bill 96 (projet de loi 96) to update elements of the charter with regards to the French language, certain aspects of which target cégeps. More recently, there have been several amendments to the proposed law that have direct and severe implications for anglophone cégeps. This issue has been discussed at recent FNEEQ meetings and the FNEEQ Executive has been meeting with the Ministry of Higher Education, the Fédération des cégeps, and student associations on this topic. As the largest anglophone cégep in the network, Dawson will be directly impacted by many of the elements of the proposed law. Below, we outline some of the key aspects as well as how they might impact Dawson.

Explorer les effets de la langue comme obstacle à l’accès aux soins, à l’utilisation des services et au bien-être pour les familles anglophones du Québec - McGill Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology; CareLab
La langue a été nommée comme obstacle à l’accès et à l’utilisation des soins de santé pour les anglophones du Québec et pour une multitude d’autres minorités linguistiques partout dans le monde. Plus précisément, ces obstacles se manifestent par la difficulté d’accéder à un professionnel de la santé, par exemple pour prendre un rendez-vous dans la langue de son choix, le manque de choix quant aux traitements et services nécessaires, la difficulté à comprendre le plan de traitement et les résultats d’examens et le manque de services dans la langue de son choix lorsqu’on est orienté vers un spécialiste de la santé.

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.

Community Development Plan for the English-speaking Communities of Quebec 2005-2010 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
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.

English-speaking Community Representation in Network Governance : Info sheet no.3 - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
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.

Moving Forward : Building Research Capacity Related to Quebec’s English-speaking Seniors : Executive Summary - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
While Quebec’s English-speaking seniors share many of the same needs and priorities as their French-speaking counterparts, as an official linguistic minority community (OLMC) they also have needs and priorities that are unique within the broader senior population. While there has been a great deal of research on Quebec’s demographic shift and its senior population, little - if - any attention has been paid to the specific needs and priorities of Quebec’s English-speaking seniors who are an official language minority community in Canada. One notable exception is the recent 2013 report entitled ‘Enjoying your senior years in your own language’ for the Office of the Commissioner for Official Languages, which employed 2006 Canadian census figures.

In 2014, the Fédération de la jeunesse canadienne-française (2018) began a mandate to investigate “linguistic insecurity” and its existence amongst French-speaking youth in Canada. While French-speakers’ experience often belies an internal conflict between the various Frenchspeaking communities of Canada, linguistic insecurity is also a phenomenon experienced by English-speaking Quebecers.
