As part of Quebec’s English-speaking community, as artists, storytellers, dramatists and performers embedded in and contributing to Quebec’s cultural life, we are deeply troubled by the character, spirit and content of Bill 96, and the negative impact it threatens to have on Quebec’s English-language arts community.

Black in Quebec Presents : In Focus - Davids, John; Fang, Xiaoyan (Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC), 2021)
Due to the Information Gaps pertaining to the well-being of the ESBC, the project collected detailed, qualitative information from members of Quebec's ESBC through conducting Focus Groups. These were meant to better inform the project about different aspects of the community such as the challenges facing the ESBC and solutions which should be considered. This process occurred in two parts, one-on-one interviews with members of the ESBC as well as group discussions with members of the seniors in the ESBC. Ultimately, upon conducting the Focus Groups, the Black in Quebec team was provided with a large amount of detailed, qualitative data derived directly from community members. This document presents the findings from the Focus Groups which are organized in two parts: challenges identified and solution based responses. Given that the Focus Group discussions were semistructured and participants offered varying levels of details, the findings reflect distinct issues or solutions identified by the participants in no particular order but were categorized thematically. Certain findings may have overlapped more than one theme.

Quebec's English-speaking Black Community : An Analysis of the Outcomes and Information Gaps - Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC) (2021)
Black in Quebec (BIQ) is a research project being undertaken by the Black Community Resource Center (BCRC), a non-profit organization founded in 1995, which serves Montreal’s English-speaking Black Community (ESBC) by providing individuals with services and information that they need. The BIQ project seeks to answer the Research Question: What is the relative well-being of the English-speaking Black community in Quebec? The relatively unique positioning of the ESBC in the Quebec landscape, being both a visible minority and linguistic minority group, necessitates that research be conducted to further understanding of the experiences and situations facing this community, which are particular to the group or shared more widely across society. The overall vision of this project is to consolidate the collection and dissemination of data that pertains to Quebec’s English-speaking Black community and share this information across a variety of institutions, including Black community organizations, public institutions, and social research groups.

Protecting the Respiratory Health of Québec's Youth Population - Pattem, Alexandre (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
Transportation traffic is one of the main sources of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), whether it emerges from trucks, buses, or car emissions (Government of Québec 2021). NO2 is formed from the “liberation of nitrogen contained in fuel and nitrogen contained in combustion air during combustion processes” (Government of Canada 2013). When released, NO2 has negative effects on human respiratory systems, especially those of teenagers and children (Wing, Sam E. et al 2018, 1-2). Growing evidence demonstrates that systems of asthma, for example, are likely to be aggravated or triggered in this youth segment of the population (Gillespie-Bennett, J. et al 2011, 303).

Bill 96, an Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Québec - Townshippers' Association (2021)
Following careful consideration of the proposed changes to existing legislation put forth in Bill 96, Townshippers’ Association is compelled by its mandate to advocate on behalf of the English-speaking community in the historical Eastern Townships to react and raise concerns as they may apply to the diverse communities in our region. While in full agreement that the protection and promotion of the French language and culture is imperative to preserving Quebec’s unique character, the Board of Directors of Townshippers’ Association deplores the government’s attempts to achieve this through an omnibus piece of legislation and its sweeping use of the notwithstanding clause. It is our considered opinion that Bill 96 is not so much a measure designed to raise the status of French within the province and work against its perceived decline in the public sphere, but one aimed at achieving a certain level of social control over the access to, the use, and overall presence of, English within Quebec.

Prioriser la diversité des élèves du système scolaire québécois - Advisory Board on English Education (2021)
La CELA ayant déjà formulé des conseils sur l’inclusion en classe et sur l’éducation des Autochtones dans des mémoires antérieurs à l’intention du ministre, ces deux volets ne seront pas abordés directement ici. Il sera plutôt question de la discrimination et de ses effets, ainsi que de la promotion de l’inclusion en milieu scolaire, dans les programmes d’études, au regard de la réussite des élèves et dans la formation du personnel enseignant. Les études que nous avons consultées portent en grande partie sur le racisme. Certes, le racisme est une question particulière, mais on sait que les mentalités à l’origine des comportements racistes entraînent souvent aussi la discrimination à l’égard de « l’autre », quel qu’il soit, et que les stratégies correctives sont souvent similaires.

Prioritizing Student Diversity in Québec’s Education System - Advisory Board on English Education (2021)
In previous briefs to the Minister, the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) has given advice on inclusion in the classroom and on Indigenous education, so this brief will not address these two issues directly. It will, instead, consider the impact of discrimination and the promotion of inclusion in the school environment, the curriculum, student achievement, and teacher education. Much of the research we have identified relates to racism, and there are certainly issues specific to racist behaviour, but we recognize that the mindset that causes racist behaviour often causes discrimination against “others” of all sorts and that the remediating strategies are often similar.

Diversity and Inclusion in Québec's Nonprofit Sector - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
Insufficient diversity and inclusion within the nonprofit sector is a longstanding issue facing organizations across Québec, and Canada more generally. At present, the nonprofit volunteer and workforce do not adequately reflect the diversity of the province’s population. Minority communities do not see themselves represented and a lack of participation excludes their lived experiences from the decision making process. There are several actions that organizations can take in pursuit of creating more heterogeneous teams that invite meaningful participation; each of which requires commitment at all levels of governance in a nonprofit.

Brief Presented to The House of Common Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages Submitted by the Quebec English School Boards Association - Quebec English School Boards Association (2021)
The Quebec English School Boards Association was founded in 1929. The role of the association is to represent the nine English school boards of Québec as well as the Littoral School Board, a special status school board. Our member boards cover the full geographic territory of Québec with some board territories covering more than 400,000 square kilometres, equal to the land area of Spain. Our board student enrolments range from 1,300 (Eastern Shores in the Gaspé region) to more than 25,000 for each of the 2 boards serving the Island of Montr al. Our network is comprised of about 340 schools and adult centres, some with enrolment well below 100 to as many as 2,000. Our boards serve the youth sector from Kindergarten to Secondary V (grade 11). They also deliver Adult Education and Vocational Training. Some of our boards offer pre-kindergarten programs to 4-year-old children and the Adult and Vocational sectors cater to students 16 years of age and older. All told there are approximately 100,000 students in the minority-language English public school system.

COVID-19 Survey Report II - Literacy Quebec (LQ) (2021)
While the pandemic has forced a lot of swift changes, the majority of Literacy Quebec's member organizations have been able to adapt. In fact, 8 out of 9 respondents claimed to have successfully transitioned at least some of their programs and services online. However, while most organizations were able to move to some type of online- learning model, a select few reported having no available tutors/volunteers. Some of the reasons ranged from a lack of interest (i.e. volunteers originally signed up to interact with others in person), or a lack of confidence in using technology.

Political Engagement of Indigenous Youth in Québec - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
According to the 2016 census, 1.2% of Québec’s population is indigenous (Page 2017) and 27.3% of that population is between 15 and 34, or the youth (Statistics Canada 2017). So far, Québec has had two indigenous members of government and there are none occupying official chairs nowadays (National Assembly of Québec). There is an issue of underrepresentation that affects the present and future of indigenous youth.

Did the Black Lives Matter Movement Help English-speaking Black Young Adults in Quebec Recover from the Damaging Psychological Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic? - Koestner, Richard; Holding, Anne C. (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2021)
The historic events of the spring of 2020—the collision of the worst public health crisis in a century and the largest Black civil rights movement in half a century—offer a unique opportunity to examine how the frustrations and hopes of English-speaking Black young adults were affected. We sought to understand the potentially competing impacts that the public health and social justice crises have had on the young adults in their communities. Quebec has the second largest Black population in Canada (after Ontario), with 27% of Canada’s total Black population. Quebec’s Black population has doubled in size in the past 20 years, with 325,000 people currently living here. This population is predominantly French speaking (80%), and it is concentrated in the Montreal metropolitan area (over 90%). The Black population tends to be younger than the Canadian average, and its members are more likely to be first-generation Canadians.

Youth Volunteer Retention in Québec - Lopes-Luchak, Milla (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
Volunteers are major contributors to nonprofit organizations in Québec and across Canada. Despite their contributions, studies reveal that volunteer retention is an aspect that remains neglected (Merrilees, Miller & Yakimova, 2020). There are many reasons why people give their time and remain in the same nonprofit. Consequently, there is no individual factor that guarantees retention; it differs depending on age group, gender, socio-economic background, area of volunteerism, etc. Improving retention is in the best interest of nonprofits. Although youth are the age group that volunteer the most (according to Volunteers Canada), Québec is the province with the lowest rate (as stated by statcan) and has much to learn from the rest of the country.

Preliminary Analysis of Bill C-13, An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2021)
Like Bill C-32, the Bill retains the same overall purposes and structure of the OLA. As with Bill C-32, the Bill sets out several new Preamble clauses, additions to the OLA’s purpose clause, and new interpretive clauses. These are all largely the same as Bill C-32, although the Bill adds a few additional clauses. In the discussion below, there is no change from C-32 except where otherwise indicated. The Bill adds the following policy priorities to the OLA: First, the protection and promotion of the French language; second, the addition of new interpretive clauses; third, the continued recognition of English and French linguistic minority communities (OLMC’s); third, the recognition of provincial language regimes including the Charter of the French Language. Finally, the Bill adds additional mention of Indigenous languages and a mention that the OLA applies in emergencies

English and French : Towards the Substantive Equality of Official Languages in Canada - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2021)
The Government of Canada’s paper on official language reform captures important demands made by the English-speaking community of Quebec during consultative processes related to the modernization of the Official Languages Act. 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.

Survey of MCLL Moderator Engagement : Report to the MCLL Council - McGill Community For Lifelong Learning (MCLL) (2021)
In December 2019, Council requested that the Planning Committee create and administer a survey of moderators to inquire about their engagement in the MCLL community in the service of retaining and recruiting moderators. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the high-priority burden the pandemic put on various committees, the survey was delayed until late in the Fall 2020 term. This document reports on the survey results and includes, in appendices, the survey questions as well as the detailed results including all comments received by respondents.

QCGN Analysis of Quebec's Five Orientations to Modernize Canada's OfficialLanguages Act - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2021)
Quebec’s proposal belies a fundamental misunderstanding of the history, purpose, and application of the OLA. It takes direct aim at the division of powers contained in the Constitution Act, 1867, seeking to extend Quebec’s legislative jurisdiction. The Government of Quebec is demanding exclusive authority to act in matters of language, “on its territory”. This poses an existential threat to the official language rights of all Canadians, French and English.
