What is the impact of this emerging clientele on community programs? Where do community resources refer persons in difficulty? How should programs be adapted to address the new challenge? What are the policy and program responses of government and the public health and social services?

Language Training Program : Frame of Reference 2010-2013 - Dialogue McGill (2011)
The McGill Training and Retention of Health Professionals Project seeks to contribute to Government of Quebec initiatives aimed at ensuring that English-speaking Quebecers have access to the full range of health and social services in their language. To this end it proposes a series of measures to train, hire and retain an adequate workforce for delivering health services and social services in English. The Project objectives are to a) improve the capacity of the health and social services network to serve English speakers in their language and b) increase the participation of English-speaking professionals in Quebec’s health and social services system. The achievement of these goals depends on a solid partnership between McGill University and the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS). A MSSS-McGill joint committee has been formed to oversee the implementation and monitoring of the various Project measures.

Programme de formation linguistique : Cadre de référence 2010-2013 - Dialogue McGill (2011)
Le Projet de formation et de maintien en poste des professionnels de la santé de l’Université McGill se veut une contribution aux initiatives du gouvernement du Québec pour assurer aux Québécois d’expression anglaise l’accès dans leur langue à la gamme de services de santé et de services sociaux. À ce titre, le Projet propose diverses mesures visant à former, à embaucher et à maintenir en poste une main-d’œuvre suffisante capable d’offrir des services de santé et des services sociaux en anglais. Les objectifs du Projet sont d’améliorer la capacité du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux de répondre aux besoins des personnes d’expression anglaise dans leur langue et d’accroître la participation des professionnels d’expression anglaise dans le système québécois de santé et de services sociaux. L’atteinte de ces objectifs repose sur un partenariat entre l’Université McGill et le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux. Un comité conjoint MSSS-McGill est formé afin d’assurer la mise en œuvre et le suivi de l’ensemble des mesures du Projet.

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.

Baseline Data Report 2010-2011 : English-language Health and Social Services Access in Quebec - Pocock, Joanne (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2011)
The 2010-2011 Baseline Data Report relays the health and social service findings of the 2010 CHSSN-CROP Survey on Community Vitality Survey and compares them with the findings of the 2005 survey. In order to facilitate the five year comparison the design of the present report reproduces, as much as possible, that of the 2005-2006 BDR. The commonalities and distinct features of regional communities within the English-speaking provincial population are delineated as well as sub-groups defined by gender, age, household income, health status and level of bilingualism. While this report is limited to the health and social service sector, the Survey on Community Vitality also collects the opinions, perceptions and expectations of a representative sample of English-speaking Quebecers in each region of Quebec with respect to issues in education, manpower development, culture and communications. The 2010 study replicates a previous survey conducted by CROP in 2000 for the Missisquoi Institute and again in 2005 for the CHSSN. A survey was also done among a representative sample of French-speaking Quebecers on the same issues. These results are not presented in this report.

Training and Human Resources Development Project : Final Report - Dialogue McGill (2010)
McGill University’s 2004-2008 Training and Human Resources Development Project sought to contribute to improving English-speaking Quebecers’ access in their own language to the range of health and social services offered to the general population. The 2004-2008 Project was funded through Health Canada’s program to support Quebec initiatives for improving access to health care and social services for English speakers. It was sponsored by McGill University’s Faculty of Arts and administered by its English and French Language Center in conjunction with its School of Social Work. The budget allocated for the 2004- 2008 period was $ 11,757,828. The project had two objectives: to ensure effective communication between English-speakers and the health and social services workers serving them and to increase the participation of English-speaking professionals in the Quebec health and social services network.

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.

It contains changes to Canadian Copyright Law that are hotly contested by artists and authors of cultural media. The Bloc, NDP and Liberal parties are opposed to the act being passed in its current state, and are calling for amendments to be made.

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.

Comments on the Canada Media Fund's English Regional Production Policies by the English-language Arts Network of Quebec - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2009)
The Canadian Television Fund (CTF) has made the English-language regions synonymous with the official-language minority in Quebec. While regional policies overlap with official-language policies in many ways, they are each distinct and need to be addressed differently. The Official Languages Act gives the English-language minority in Quebec the same status as the French-language minority outside Quebec. However, the CTF has not recognized that the official-language minority community (OLMC) in Quebec has the same rights and legal status as the French-language minority outside Quebec. Thus, Montreal production is not given regional status for the BPE, nor is there a Quebec OLMC production fund similar to the production fund (FLPOQ) available to the French-language minority outside Quebec.

The Vitality of the English-Speaking Communities of Quebec : From Community Decline to Revival - Bourhis, Richard Y. (2009)
The goal of this book is to provide a current portrait of the group vitality of the English-speaking Communities of Quebec. The enduring stereotype about the Anglophones of Quebec is that it is a pampered minority whose economic clout is such that federal or provincial support for the maintenance and development of its institutions is hardly necessary. This view of the privileged status of Quebec Anglos is widely held not only by the Francophone majority of Quebec but also by many leaders of Francophone communities across Canada. On the few occasions that Anglophones in the rest of Canada (ROC) spare a thought to the Anglophones of Quebec, either this idealised view of the community prevails, or they are portrayed as residents of a linguistic gulag whose rights are trampled on a regular and ongoing basis.

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.

A Study of Recruitment and Retention Factors Affecting Immigrants, and Anglophone Newcomers in the Quebec City Region - Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ); Conférence régionale des élus de la Capitale-Nationale (2009)
This study focuses on the trends and community-based responses to in-migration in the Quebec City region. It is specifically concerned with issues pertaining to the local English-speaking community, a group that is vested with the legal and political designation of official language minority community by the federal government of Canada. The issue of in-migration is multifaceted and multidisciplinary. To wade into debates on the patterns and effects of migration over a given territory requires a significant amount of background knowledge from a number of different sources. Moreover, to consider the proper policy responses to migratory patterns, we must pay attention to wider political, sociological, and economic conditions that shape how individuals make decisions, such as why they move to a particular region, how long to stay and when to leave.

Freedom of Religious Instruction : A Fundamental Right of Parents and Children - Murphy, Martin P.; The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC), 2008)
From the time it was proposed in the late 19809s to shift the Quebec school system from a denominational model to a linguistic one, the English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) has consistently fought for freedom of religion and parental choice in religious instruction for people of all faiths. Time and again, the ESCC has defended these principles in its submissions to the National Assembly, the Commission for the Estates-General on Education, the Special Joint Committee of the House of Commons and the Senate, and most recently, the BouchardTaylor Commission on Reasonable Accommodation of Minorities.

French Immersion Teen Camp : Feasibility Study - Newcombe, Vanessa; Roberts, Carla; Griffin, Emily (Coasters Association, 2008)
Living in such an isolated area such as, the Lower North Shore, there is a lack of activities for all ages, but more so for the adolescent age. There are very few activities on the Lower North Shore that directly focuses on teenagers, so teens resort to other activities that result in social problems (i.e. drinking, drugs, vandalism, etc…). Therefore, a French Immersion Teen Camp would provide teenagers with activities and a program that is especially designed for them. Teenagers could have a chance to get away from the social problems and into a program that will nurture and develop a safe and healthy environment in which the teens can improve their health and obtain skills that will assist them in their future lives and also promote and develop their French as a Second Language skill.

Ancestors : Life, Death, and Descendants of Quebec City's Anglophones - Morrin Centre (2008)
Quebec City’s cemeteries have lots to say about our ancestors and the past. They are places of remembrance for those close to the departed, but they are also a storehouse of memories for the whole community. Cemeteries are closely linked to religious belief : They express a particular vision of the world, a set of values and a culture.

Building the City : The Influence of English Speakers on Quebec City's Architecture - Morrin Centre (2008)
Quebec City is praised for its quintessential Frenchness, yet a closer look at its architecture reveals a city with a strong British influence. Ninety-five per cent of the city was built or modified after the British conquest in 1759. In the middle of the ninete nth century, half the people in the Upper Town were English speakers, and they left a clear mark on the built environment. Many of the city’s important landmarks, from the Château Frontenac to the Price Building, were designed by English-speaking architects.

Les ancêtres : vie, mort et descendance des anglophones de la ville de Québec - Morrin Centre (2008)
Les cimetières de la ville de Québec constituent une mine de renseignements précieuse à propos de nos ancêtres et du passé. Ils sont des lieux de mémoire, tant pour les proches des disparus que pour la collectivité. Étroitement liés à une religion, les cimetières sont l’expression tangible d’une vision du monde, d’un ensemble de valeurs, d’une culture.

Les bâtisseurs : l'influence anglophone sur l'architecture de Québec - Morrin Centre (2008)
Bien que l’on vante le caractère français de Québec, son architecture a subi une influence anglaise considérable : 95 % des édifices sont construits ou modifiés après 1759, suite à la Conquête. Au milieu du 19e siècle, la moitié des habitants de la Haute-Ville sont anglophones et leur présence marque le patrimoine bâti de la ville. De nombreux monuments caractéristiques de Québec, du Château Frontenac à l’édifice Price, sont conçus par des architectes anglophones.

Les gens du fleuve : la vie des anglophones sur les rives du Saint-Laurent - Morrin Centre (2008)
L’historien grec Hérodote disait de l’Égypte qu’elle était un « don du Nil » tant ce fleuve était important dans la vie des Égyptiens. De la même façon, on pourrait dire que Québec est un don du Saint-Laurent. Le Saint-Laurent était le « boulevard » des Autochtones, premiers habitants du territoire, avant de devenir la voie d’accès des explorateurs Français. Il est un facteur déterminant dans le choix de Samuel de Champlain d’établir une colonie à Québec, car il y voyait une route vers la Chine.

People of the River : Anglophone Life on the St. Lawrence - Morrin Centre (2008)
The Greek historian Herodotus summed up Egypt’s dependence on its great river by calling the country a “gift of the Nile.” In the same way, it could be said that Quebec is a gift of the St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence was the “boulevard” of the territory’s first inhabitants, the Aboriginal people. Then it became the access route for French explorers. Samuel de Champlain thought it was a route to China, and this was a determining factor in his decision to found a colony at Quebec.

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.

The Project involves the implementation of four measures in partnership with stakeholders concerned by the issue of access to health and social services in the English-speaking communities. The 2008-2009 year was an extension of the Project which finished in March 2008.

The Baseline Data Report 2006-2007 - Pocock, Joanne (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2007)
In 2002, the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) was a key Contributor to the report of the Consultative Committee for English‐speaking Minority Communities to the Federal Minister of Health.1 The Consultative Committee report proposed a five year Global Intervention Plan to support the English‐speaking communities’ efforts to improve access to health and social services in their language in Quebec. The Consultative Committee emphasized that improved access was intimately tied to the ability of English‐speaking communities to develop local networks and effective partnerships with public sector agencies. It was proposed that by maintaining and improving English‐language access to a full range of health and social services across diverse regional populations that these partnerships would help to promote better health outcomes and ensure the vitality of Quebec’s English‐speaking communities. The Committee underlined the need to pay special attention to the more isolated and demographically weak communities which face special challenges in providing health and social services in English to their respective populations.

A Needs Assessment on the Issue of Hiring and Retaining English Professionals on the Lower North Shore - Coasters Association (2006)
The Coasters Association, in partnership with the Centre de Santé et de Services Sociaux de la Basse- Côte-Nord (CSSSBCN), received a Training and Human Resources Development Project from McGill University for seven (7) weeks from February 13 to March 31, 2006, under the Retention and Distance Professional and Community Support Program, to conduct a needs assessment on the issue of hiring and retaining Professionals, not only English-speaking - but Bilingual Professionals as well, on the Lower North Shore of Quebec. The objective of this needs assessment was to develop Phase II which is a two year proposal that would lead to the improvement of hiring and retaining professionals on the territory. The long term intended outcome is the increase in access to Health and Social Services for English speaking residents on the Lower North Shore. Another objective of this needs assessment is to make contact with institutional and community based organizations (ie: Education and H.&S.S.), it is hoped that these contacts will lead to long term partnerships and commitment to addressing the hiring and retention of English and/or Bilingual Professionals on the Lower North Shore.

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.

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.

Alliance Quebec is of the opinion that no matter how fine and efficient a health care system is, it will be less effective if it cannot communicate effectively with the patient and vice versa.
