Brief Regarding the General Consultation and Public Hearings on Bill 14 : An Act to Amend the Charter of the French Language, the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and Other Legislative Provisions - Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ) (2013)
The purpose of this brief is to highlight the potential impacts that the proposed Bill 14 could have on the minority English-speaking community of the Greater Quebec City region. As the preeminent interest group representing English-speakers in the Quebec City region, VEQ has carefully analyzed all the modifications included in the proposed Bill 14 and has consulted its membership, community and many of its key partners in order to present this comprehensive evaluation of the impacts that Bill 14 could have on our community. It is our opinion that Bill 14, if adopted in its present form, will have several negative consequences on the vitality of our community and on the capacity of English speakers to continue to be contributing citizens of our region. In addition, we sincerely believe that Bill 14 will also have a real negative impact on the capacity of our entire region to attract and retain English-speaking immigrants and migrants which will directly affect the economic prosperity of the Quebec City region.

Report on Youth Employability in the Greater Quebec City Region - Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ) (2020)
In the winter of 2019-2020, we conducted a survey of English-speaking youth aged 15 to 29 as well as six focus groups at the English high schools in the region to support two projects related to youth employability. Through our needs analysis, we sought to evaluate youth knowledge and/or use of the services offered by the Carrefour jeunesse-emploi centres as well as to gain some insights into the postsecondary education and career plans of the students at the local English high schools. These results are meant to provide a snapshot of the perspectives of Englishspeaking youth on employment in the Greater Quebec City region at this time. Though small in scope and sample size (53 survey participants, 32 focus group participants), this study captures the very real hopes and frustrations of our minority population. At the same time, it also proposes some very concrete and achievable outcomes. We hope that this document can serve as a springboard for employers and service providers to work with us, and members of our community, to increase the employability of English-speaking youth in the Greater Quebec City region. Let’s build a better future for all Québécois.

A Guide for Caregivers - Vision Gaspé-Percé Now (VGPN)
This guide is intended for those of you who are taking care of a loved one and wish to improve the quality of life for you and your loved one. It is also intended to help you recognize the value of your work because you are enabling your loved one to live with dignity, either at home or in a facility. Anyone at any point can become a caregiver, whether it is unexpected or planner, and so the task may come about as a response to a heart-felt need or simply as the days pass. However, this means that you may offer help to a loved one without taking time to evaluate the impact it will have on your life and without realizing that your life can be completely altered.

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.

St. Paul’s River, St. Augustine, La Tabatiere and the Eau-Naturelle Discovery Camp in Chevery). These camps provide a safe and happy environment, a unique learning experience for all those involved, as well as assist the camp counsellors with leadership skills that will help them in their future endeavours. It is a place where youth can interact with other youth in an adventurous, natural and spiritual environment. Therefore, the continuation and expansion of the KIDS Summer Camp is an important service to the population of the Lower North Shore.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
