A Brief Presented to the Parliamentary Committee on Cutlure and Education on Bill 14 (an Act to Amend the Charter of the French Language, the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and Other Legislative Provisions)

On December 5, 2012, the Honorable Diane De Courcy, Minister responsible for the Charter of the French Language, introduced Bill 14, An Act to amend the Charter of the French Language, the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and other legislative provisions to the National Assembly. The decision to amend the Charter of the French Language and the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms follows the recent minority win of the Parti Québécois in the National Assembly on September 4, 2012. QFHSA questions the need for this legislation when we are at a time of general peace in terms of language relations.
