Collective Rights and the Declining Vitality of the English-speaking Communities of Quebec : Brief to the Committee on Culture and Education with Regards to the General Consultation and Public Hearings on Bill 103, An Act to Amend the Charter of the French Language and Other Legislative Provisions
Abstract
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.
