Brief : Public Consultation on the Government Action Plan to Combat Poverty and Social Exclusion - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2023)
Québec is home to more than 1.2 million English speakers, representing 14.9% of the province’s population. Data from the 2021 Census of Canada indicates that English-speaking Quebecers occupy a more precarious economic position than their French-speaking counterparts, experience higher rates of poverty and unemployment and earn lower median incomes. Research conducted by PERT has highlighted some of the specific barriers and challenges English speakers face regarding labour market integration and retention in Québec, including lack of French-language training for the workforce, lack of English-language employability services, lack of English-language vocational training, and lack of wrap-around support services. These employment challenges impact English speakers' labour market outcomes and are associated with higher rates of poverty.1 Furthermore, many of these challenges, especially the lack of wrap-around supports (e.g. housing or food security), can directly contribute to – and result from – poverty.

Census 2021 Update : A Brief Review of the Latest Data on Employment Among Québec’s English Speakers - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2023)
A review of the most recent census data on the employment situation of Québec’s English-speaking communities reveals that English speakers continue to experience significant challenges in Québec’s labour market. Despite a high rate of labour force participation and increases in educational attainment, English speakers in most regions of Québec face higher unemployment rates, lower median incomes and higher rates of poverty compared to the French-speaking majority. This report provides an overview of key labour market characteristics for Québec’s English-speaking communities based on data from the 2021 Census.

Mémoire : Consultation publique pour le plan d'action gouvernemental de lutte contre la pauvreté et l'exclusion sociale - 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.1 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.

Un examen des données de recensement les plus récentes sur la situation de l'emploi des communautés d’expression anglaise au Québec révèle que les Québécois d’expression anglaise continuent de faire face à des défis importants sur le marché du travail. Malgré un taux élevé de participation à la population active et une augmentation du niveau de scolarité, les Québécois d’expression anglaise de la plupart des régions administratives de la province sont confrontés à des taux de chômage plus élevés, à des revenus médians plus faibles et à des taux de pauvreté plus élevés que ceux de la majorité francophone. Ce rapport donne un aperçu des principales caractéristiques du marché du travail des communautés d’expression anglaise au Québec, en se fondant sur les données du recensement de 2021.

Consultation prébudgétaire de Alphabétisation Québec 2023-2024 déposé au ministre des Finances du Québec et au ministre responsable des Relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise - Literacy Quebec (LQ) (2023)
Alphabétisation Québec/Literacy Québec est un regroupement national qui compte 15 organismes d’alphabétisation populaires. Fondé en 1980, il est accrédité au Programme d’action communautaire sur le terrain de l’éducation (PACTE) et reçoit un soutien financier pour appuyer sa mission globale de la part du ministère de l’éducation ainsi que du Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise. Le regroupement mène des actions pour conscientiser le public aux réalités de l'analphabétisme et pour promouvoir des opportunités d’apprentissage tout au long de la vie. Alphabétisation Québec offre du soutien, de l’accompagnement et de la formation continue à ses groupes membres. Ceux-ci sont des milieux de vie et des lieux de formation pour les adultes et les familles de toutes origines qui désirent acquérir, rehausser ou maintenir leurs compétences de base sur le plan de la lecture, l’écriture, la numératie ou la littératie numérique. Ils ont développé une approche unique d’éducation non formelle et informelle qui vise l’autonomisation et l’inclusion des personnes et qui est adaptée au rythme d’apprentissage des participants.

Brief to the Pre-Budget Consultation Chaired by Finance Minister Eric Girard - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2023)

LEARN Online Tutoring Program Study : Summary Report and Analysis of the LEARN Parent Survey - LaBonte, Randy (Canadian eLearning Network (CANeLearn), 2023)
LEARN (Leading English Education and Resource Network) is a non-profit educational organization with a mandate to serve the English-speaking community of Quebec by offering resources and services at no charge to elementary and secondary level students. One of the rapidly growing services is online tutoring and homework. Tutors are fully qualified Quebec teachers, experienced in tutoring, working directly with elementary (gr. 2 and up) and secondary students and their families. LEARN is anticipating up to 45,000 tutorial sessions this year, almost triple the number of sessions in the 2019-2020 school year, with 200 part-time tutors involved in the service. In January 2023, LEARN mandated the Canadian eLearning Network (CANeLearn.net) to conduct an independent assessment of the program. CANeLearn sought the input of parents with children in the program to help determine how LEARN’s online tutoring met parent’s needs and how the program might be improved. A survey was developed and administered by CANeLearn, though LEARN distributed the survey in both English and French to parents of children involved in the tutoring program. The results were directly collected and used by CANeLearn to create this report about the program’s effectiveness and to analyze the tutoring program’s impact on student learning success, motivation, and confidence. Survey results were also reviewed in the context of recent research on tutoring and a discussion of findings can be found at the end of this report

Law 96: College Instruction in the Minority Language - Rengel, Fernanda (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2023)
Bill 96, An Act respecting French, the official and common language of Québec, was proposed to the National Assembly on May 13, 2021. It was sponsored by Coalition Avenir Québec MNA, M. Simon Jolin-Barrette, who at the time served as Minister Responsible for the French Language1 (Assemblée Nationale du Québec). The bill proposed several amendments overhauling the Charter of the French language, colloquially known as Bill 101, which had received royal assent in 1977. The stated purpose of Bill 96 was a renewed focus on strengthening the use of French–Québec’s sole official language– in all spheres of public life. Among other elements, the bill involves establishing francization frame- works in the workplace, as well as specifying Québec’s role in expanding and promoting francophone and Acadian communities, both within Canada and abroad (Bill 96 3). The bill received royal assent on June 1st, 2022, becoming Law 96. Being considered in this brief are Law 96’s amendments to the 1977 Charter of French with regard to college instruction in English. These impose certain expectations and limitations on college-level instruction in the minority language as the Charter did to primary and secondary instruction in the minority language in 1977.

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.

Écoles rurales, identités linguistiques et droits de la minorité de langue officielle : Le point de vue de parents ayant droit au Québec : Document de travail QUESCREN no. 9 - Pattison-Meek, Joanne; Langevin, Andréanne (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2023)
Depuis l’édiction de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés en 1982, l’article 23 reconnaît le droit des citoyens canadiens de faire instruire leurs enfants dans la langue officielle de leur choix. Fondamentalement, l’article 23 garantit le droit à l’enseignement dans la langue de la minorité afin de contribuer à freiner l’assimilation et assure le maintien de ces droits pour les générations futures d’ayants droit. Protéger les droits à l’instruction dans la langue officielle de la minorité est un moyen de préserver et de promouvoir l’identité et la culture des communautés d’expression anglaise au Québec, qui forment, avec les francophones vivant à l’extérieur de la province, les communautés de langues officielles minoritaires du Canada.

They “Could Care for Our Elderly in Our Homes” : The Historical Impact of Black Caregivers - Williams, Dorothy W. (Working Paper, 2023)
My aim is to interrogate prevalent assumptions about health and social services through a survey of notable chapters in the history of Black caregiving in Quebec. The assumptions have created expectations and a false narrative built upon historical myths and erasures that undergird the provincial population’s understanding of its relationship with Black caregivers. Blacks, both Francophone and Anglophone, though not exclusively so, have had significant connection to the care and well-being of Quebec’s residents. Black caregiving in Quebec is not recent—indeed, Black caregivers have been intimately tied to Quebec’s labour force aspirations and development for centuries. Even so, it is rarely acknowledged, to the point of being virtually unknown. This paper seeks to address those gaps in the narrative by presenting a timeline dating back to the 17th century. It will reveal intricate connections between the different periods when it comes to segregation, prejudice, migration, immigration quotas, and bans.

Apprendre le français à l’âge adulte : examen des pratiques exemplaires actuelles en francisation des adultes au Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2023)
L’apprentissage du français représente un défi pour beaucoup de minorités linguistiques au Québec. Vu la primauté grandissante du français dans la province, l’apprentissage de cette langue est une priorité de plus en plus importante pour les personnes qui sont confrontées à des obstacles liés au français et qui souhaitent participer au marché du travail et à la société québécoise dans son ensemble. La Table ronde provinciale sur l’emploi (PERT) s’est déjà penchée sur l’écosystème québécois de la francisation des adultes pour se faire une idée de la disponibilité et de l’accessibilité des programmes offerts dans la province. Nos constats : le cadre québécois de francisation des adultes est une mosaïque de programmes à la disponibilité et aux coûts variables, et d’importants obstacles se dressent devant les personnes apprenantes selon leur lieu de vie, leur statut migratoire et leur statut d’emploi, entre autres critères d’admissibilité.

Learning French as an Adult : A Review of Current Best Practices in Adult French-language Training in Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2023)
Learning French is a challenge for many linguistic minorities in Québec. Given the growing primacy of French in the province, learning French is increasingly a priority for individuals who face French-language barriers and seek to participate in broader Québec society and the labour market. Previous research by the Provincial Employment Roundtable has explored Québec’s adult French-language training ecosystem in order to understand the availability and accessibility of programs in the province. This research demonstrated that Québec’s adult French-language training framework is a patchwork of programs with varying availability and costs, as well as significant barriers to access for individuals depending on their regional location, immigration status, and employment status, among other eligibility criteria.
