What is Bill C-32? - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2010)
Bill C-32 is officially known as the Copyright Modernization Act. It was an attempt at a “Balanced Copyright” act introduced in Parliament on June 2, 2010, by the Conservative Party — Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Industry, and the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. It contains changes to Canadian Copyright Law that are hotly contested by artists and authors of cultural media. The Bloc, NDP and Liberal parties are opposed to the act being passed in its current state, and are calling for amendments to be made.

2009-10 Annual Report - Leading English Education and Resource Network (LEARN) (2010)
In a province as vast as Quebec, and with schools and school boards scattered over an enormous geographic expanse, the notion of bringing people together to create a COMMUNITY of collaboration may appear daunting, if not impossible. In reality, when people share similar interests and common goals, those physical impediments can quickly disappear. This is especially true when the ultimate objective is the academic success of our children in elementary and high schools. LEARN’s focus is to serve as a catalyst and facilitator for the creation of communities of collaboration composed of educators, parents and students across the province. It is our organization’s objective to make every effort possible to get the well-intentioned forces within the English educational milieu together to share the wealth of knowledge and experience that resides there.

Dans une province aussi vaste que le Québec, où les écoles et les commissions scolaires sont dispersées sur une immense étendue géographique, la notion de rassembler les gens pour en faire une COMMUNAUTÉ de collaboration semble un obstacle gigantesque, sinon insurmontable. Dans la réalité, les gens partagent des intérêts similaires et des objectifs communs et cette notion d’impossibilité physique s’estompe rapidement. Cette évolution est particulièrement vraie quand l’objectif ultime est la réussite scolaire de nos enfants au niveau des écoles élémentaires et secondaires. LEARN a pour objectif de servir de catalyseur et de facilitateur pour la création de communautés de collaboration réunissant les éducateurs, les parents et les élèves à l’échelle de la province. L’objectif de notre organisation est de déployer tous les efforts possibles pour réunir les forces positives du milieu éducatif anglophone afi n de contribuer au partage des connaissances et des expériences disponibles au sein de notre communauté.

Assessing the English-speaking Community's Capacity to Access Arts, Culture, and Heritage in Nine Regions of Quebec : A Report on Phase One of the "Enhancing Access to Cultural Expression" Project (EACE) - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN); Palmer, Lise (2010)
In 2008, the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) Board of Directors passed a formal resolution to prioritize the development of the Arts, Culture and Heritage sector. This area was prioritized by a majority of members in the Network and was supported by the Board. An Arts, Culture and Heritage working group was created to develop a policy framework in this area to streamline and guide the activities of the Network. The main partners in this endeavour were the English Language Arts Network (ELAN) represented by Guy Rodgers, the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network (QAHN) represented by Kevin O'Donnell and Dwane Wilkin and the QCGN represented by Sylvia Martin-Laforge. Jane Needles also participated in the working group representing both the QCGN and ELAN. The policy framework, which was completed in November 2008, identified key areas of intervention over the next five years to support the dynamic growth and development of the cultural expression of English-speaking Quebec. The first was a project to access cultural expression through expanded partnerships. This current project “Enhancing Access to Cultural Expression” is a direct result of the prioritization of access to cultural expression. The other areas of priority included recognition and support through visibility - which is currently being addressed through the RAEV project being implemented by ELAN - and the creative economy - an issue yet to be addressed.

The Positive Ticket Pilot Program : A Feasibility Study - Low, Katherine (Black Community Resource Centre (BCRC), 2009)
The Positive Ticket Project was started in Richmond BC, and aims to improve the relationship between youth and police by way of positive interaction. Officers give out the positive tickets to neighbourhood youth displaying positive behaviour, which can be as simple as engaging in safe play or helping a community member. The positive tickets, which are business card size with positive messages printed on them, are combined with gift vouchers donated by and redeemable at local businesses. The real value of the project lies in the positive communication and interaction it creates between the officer and the youth. The Black Community Resource Center in Côte-des-Neiges wishes to implement a Positive Ticket Pilot Project in their neighbourhood in the summer of 2010.

During the summer of 2009, OCOL commissioned a team of independent researchers to report on the implementation of Part VII by consulting community and social stakeholders. The goal was to sound out their perception of community vitality, along with their take on the way in which federal institutions fulfill their obligations. More than 175 persons were interviewed and expressed their views across Canada. A report was written for each of the following regions: 1) Atlantic Region; 2) Quebec; 3) Ontario; 4) Manitoba and Saskatchewan; and 5) Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Another researcher wrote a report after having consulted key stakeholders who promote linguistic duality and second official language learning.

Kids Summer Camp Report - Thomas, Jenny (Coasters Association, 2009)
Each year KIDS Summer Camps accommodates the youth and parents in five (5) municipalities across the Lower North Shore (Blanc Sablon. 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 endeavors. 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.

Comments on the Canada Media Fund's English Regional Production Policies by the English-language Arts Network of Quebec - English Language Arts Network (ELAN) (2009)
The Canadian Television Fund (CTF) has made the English-language regions synonymous with the official-language minority in Quebec. While regional policies overlap with official-language policies in many ways, they are each distinct and need to be addressed differently. The Official Languages Act gives the English-language minority in Quebec the same status as the French-language minority outside Quebec. However, the CTF has not recognized that the official-language minority community (OLMC) in Quebec has the same rights and legal status as the French-language minority outside Quebec. Thus, Montreal production is not given regional status for the BPE, nor is there a Quebec OLMC production fund similar to the production fund (FLPOQ) available to the French-language minority outside Quebec.

Its two main objectives are to ensure effective communication in English between English-speaking Quebecers and the health and social services workers who serve their needs and to increase the number of English-speaking professionals working in the Quebec health and social services system. The Project involves the implementation of four measures in partnership with stakeholders concerned by the issue of access to health and social services in the English-speaking communities. The 2008-2009 year was an extension of the Project which finished in March 2008.

Local Television Support for the Official-language Minority in Quebec - Magnetic North Associates (2009)
The Anglophone minority doesn’t lack access to English-language channels via satellite and cable distribution, but it is underserved in “regional reflection” and “local expression”. That is especially the case for the 200,000 Anglophones outside the greater Montreal area who have virtually no “regional reflection”. The reason for this inadequate regional programming can be traced to the lack of regional services available to the official language minority community (OLMC) in Quebec. There is no English-language educational channel, similar to TFO in Ontario, nor is there an English regional channel, or community channel.

his study was originally commissioned by The Centre for Literacy of Quebec in fulfillment of the terms of HIPPY-Montreal's generous four-year start-up grant from the Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon. The Centre and its partners, the Salvation Army and Elizabeth House, felt that given the unique design and complexity of the HIPPY program, a qualitative study would generate more usable findings than would a solely quantitative one. The Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon had requested that any evaluation of the HIPPY-Montréal program include a quantitative component; so, in addition to their intensive observations of and interviews with HIPPY staff and families implementing the program, the researchers also administered Peabody tests to participating children. This final report on the efficacy of the program includes the results of the testing along with the findings from two years of study.

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).

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.

High-quality Teachers and Administrators for English-language Schools in Québec : Preparation, Induction and Support - Advisory Board on English Education (2009)
The Advisory Board on English Education begins by commending the teachers and principals of the English-language schools of the province for the crucial work they do in educating the future citizens of Québec, Canada, and the world. Education has always been an important preoccupation of English-speaking Quebeckers. Graduates of English-language schools have contributed greatly to the institutions of the province, and the schoolhouse has traditionally provided a focal point for rural populations of the community. Worldwide, there is a recognition that education must change to accommodate the needs of twenty-first century graduates, and that therefore the curriculum and teachers must also change. Many countries have developed initiatives that aim to prepare, support, and retain teachers more effectively than in the past, and to encourage young people to become teachers, especially in disciplines such as science and mathematics, seen as necessary for living in contemporary society. Our goal in this brief is to respond to the preoccupation that the English-language schools of Québec need even more good teachers and principals who, in turn, need more appropriate preparation and more support so that they do not leave the profession but continue to develop within it.

Pour un personnel enseignant et un personnel de direction hautement qualifiés dans les écoles anglophones du Québec : Préparation, orientation et soutien - Advisory Board on English Education (2009)
La Commission de l’éducation en langue anglaise tient à louer le travail crucial des enseignants et enseignantes ainsi que celui des directeurs et directrices des écoles de la province qui éduquent les futurs citoyens du Québec, du Canada et du monde. Les Québécois anglophones se sont toujours beaucoup souciés de l’éducation. Les diplômés des écoles de langue anglaise contribuent énormément aux institutions de la province, et l’école a toujours été un foyer de convergence des populations rurales anglophones. L’opinion mondiale est unanime : l’éducation doit évoluer pour que les diplômés répondent aux besoins du XXIe siècle. C’est dire que les programmes et les enseignants doivent changer aussi. Beaucoup de nations ont conçu des initiatives qui visent à préparer, aider et retenir en poste les enseignants de manière plus efficace que par le passé de même qu’à encourager les jeunes à devenir enseignants, surtout dans des disciplines comme les sciences et la mathématique, si nécessaires à la société contemporaine. Le but de ce mémoire est de répondre à une préoccupation particulière, à savoir que les écoles anglophones du Québec ont besoin d’un plus grand nombre de bons enseignants et directeurs qui, à leur tour, doivent être mieux préparés et soutenus pour se perfectionner et s’épanouir dans la profession au lieu de la quitter.

The Vitality of the English-Speaking Communities of Quebec : From Community Decline to Revival - Bourhis, Richard Y. (2009)
The goal of this book is to provide a current portrait of the group vitality of the English-speaking Communities of Quebec. The enduring stereotype about the Anglophones of Quebec is that it is a pampered minority whose economic clout is such that federal or provincial support for the maintenance and development of its institutions is hardly necessary. This view of the privileged status of Quebec Anglos is widely held not only by the Francophone majority of Quebec but also by many leaders of Francophone communities across Canada. On the few occasions that Anglophones in the rest of Canada (ROC) spare a thought to the Anglophones of Quebec, either this idealised view of the community prevails, or they are portrayed as residents of a linguistic gulag whose rights are trampled on a regular and ongoing basis.

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.

Creating Spaces for Young Quebecers : Strategic Orientations for English-speaking Youth in Quebec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2009)
Over the past decades, Francophones in Quebec have taken formal steps to preserve and promote their language and culture. To most English-speaking youth growing up in Quebec today, this makes sense and we agree that steps should be taken to protect Quebec’s uniqueness in North America. However, young English-speakers living in Quebec - from Montreal to the North Shore to the Gaspé - face their own set of unique challenges. In small English-speaking pockets scattered throughout the province, young English-speakers struggle to become bilingual, access services, create strong ties with their communities, participate in Quebec society and define their own identities. The members of the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) Youth Standing Committee have worked together over the last year to ensure that this document represents the perspectives of as many youth as possible from a wide array of regions and backgrounds. We have also worked to ensure that the process has been directed by youth and that the voices we have heard are heard by others as well. This is the first time that a significant percentage of English-speaking youth in Quebec have come together from across many regions to address the barriers young people face. It has been exciting to discuss our Quebec roots, our desire to remain in this province and our willingness to move past the linguistic tensions of previous generations. In consultations across eight regions, followed by a provincial forum, we have generated strategies for moving forward together. This document outlines strategies that youth have recommended to help achieve our collective vision for English-speaking youth in Quebec. We encourage the QCGN to work towards this vision for English-speaking youth in Quebec in collaboration with community partners, all levels of government and Francophone organizations.

Ladies' Protestant Home 1859-2009 : 150 Years of History - Donovan, Patrick; Hayes, Ashli (2009)
This is the story of how, for the past 150 years, English-speakers in Quebec saw needs in the community and reached out to meet them. The Ladies’ Protestant Home was founded in 1859, a time when epidemics, poor work conditions, and frequent urban fires made life difficult for the poor. There was a crying need for institutions to help out. In its early years, the Home provided temporary shelter for poor and destitute Protestant immigrant women. Its mandate evolved over the years, with an increasing focus on serving the elderly from the 1950’s onward. The Home eventually reached out to non-Protestants, Francophones, and men before closing down in 1990. For the past two decades, the Quebec Ladies’ Home Foundation has continued to manage assets from the Home's sale towards the purpose of providing health and social services to English-speakers in Quebec City.

In 2007, the Ministère de la Famille et des Aînés conducted public consultations across all 17 regions to assess the living conditions of seniors and to identify their major challenges across Quebec. The roving consultations looked at a variety of subjects including the role and needs of family caregivers, home support services, intergenerational solidarity, abuse of and violence towards seniors, as well as the contributions that seniors make to society. It demonstrated the importance of understanding the needs and priorities of seniors as their numbers gradually increase in proportion to the rest of the population due to enhanced longevity. The findings of the consultations were summarized by Minister Marguerite Blais, assisted by Mrs. Sheila Goldbloom and Dr. Réjean Hébert in a report entitled “Public Consultation Report on Living Conditions of Quebec: Preparing the Future with our Seniors,” which identified the priorities for all seniors in Quebec. En 2007, le ministère de la Famille et des Aînés a mené une consultation publique dans 17 régions afin d’évaluer les conditions de vie des aînés et d’établir leurs principaux enjeux dans tout le Québec. Cette commission itinérante a permis d’examiner une variété de sujets, notamment le rôle et les besoins des aidants naturels, les services de soutien à domicile, la solidarité intergénérationnelle, les abus et la violence envers les aînés ainsi que la contribution des aînés à la société. Cet exercice a démontré l’importance de comprendre les besoins et les priorités des aînés car, en raison de l’accroissement de la longévité, leur nombre augmente graduellement, proportionnellement au reste de la population. Les conclusions de ce processus de consultation ont été résumées par la ministre Marguerite Blais, en collaboration avec Mme Sheila Goldbloom et le Dr Réjean Hébert, dans un ouvrage intitulé Rapport de la consultation publique sur les conditions de vie des aînés : Préparons l’avenir avec nos aînés. Ce rapport définit les priorités de tous les aînés du Québec.

A Study of Recruitment and Retention Factors Affecting Immigrants, and Anglophone Newcomers in the Quebec City Region - Voice of English-speaking Quebec (VEQ); Conférence régionale des élus de la Capitale-Nationale (2009)
This study focuses on the trends and community-based responses to in-migration in the Quebec City region. It is specifically concerned with issues pertaining to the local English-speaking community, a group that is vested with the legal and political designation of official language minority community by the federal government of Canada. The issue of in-migration is multifaceted and multidisciplinary. To wade into debates on the patterns and effects of migration over a given territory requires a significant amount of background knowledge from a number of different sources. Moreover, to consider the proper policy responses to migratory patterns, we must pay attention to wider political, sociological, and economic conditions that shape how individuals make decisions, such as why they move to a particular region, how long to stay and when to leave.

Freedom of Religious Instruction : A Fundamental Right of Parents and Children - Murphy, Martin P.; The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) (The English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC), 2008)
From the time it was proposed in the late 19809s to shift the Quebec school system from a denominational model to a linguistic one, the English Speaking Catholic Council (ESCC) has consistently fought for freedom of religion and parental choice in religious instruction for people of all faiths. Time and again, the ESCC has defended these principles in its submissions to the National Assembly, the Commission for the Estates-General on Education, the Special Joint Committee of the House of Commons and the Senate, and most recently, the BouchardTaylor Commission on Reasonable Accommodation of Minorities.

Kids Summer Camp - Newcombe, Vanessa (Coasters Association, 2008)
The KIDS Summer Camp has been in operation since 2006 and has provided a summer retreat for over 200 youth in five (5) communities, (Blanc Sablon, St. Paul’s River, St. Augustine, La Tabatiere as well as the Eau-Naturelle Discovery Camp in Chevery) thus, accommodating the youth and parents in the five (5) municipalities across the Lower North Shore. Furthermore it provides a vital service to the parents who have no other option but leave the coast for 3 to 4 months out of a year to seek employment elsewhere.

French Immersion Teen Camp : Feasibility Study - Newcombe, Vanessa; Roberts, Carla; Griffin, Emily (Coasters Association, 2008)
Living in such an isolated area such as, the Lower North Shore, there is a lack of activities for all ages, but more so for the adolescent age. There are very few activities on the Lower North Shore that directly focuses on teenagers, so teens resort to other activities that result in social problems (i.e. drinking, drugs, vandalism, etc…). Therefore, a French Immersion Teen Camp would provide teenagers with activities and a program that is especially designed for them. Teenagers could have a chance to get away from the social problems and into a program that will nurture and develop a safe and healthy environment in which the teens can improve their health and obtain skills that will assist them in their future lives and also promote and develop their French as a Second Language skill.

Going... Going... Gone : The Decline of English-language Production in Quebec 1996-7 to 2006-7 - Magnetic North Associates (2008)
English-language production in Quebec has fallen by 40% since the peak production years ended in 2000. Total certified English-language production in Canada has been stagnant or declining since peak production ended in 2000. From 1999-0 to 2005-6, total English production in Canada fell by 10%. English-language production in Quebec has suffered the most dramatic decline during this period.

Two call-in shows – Dependencies and Mental Health – were broadcast by CJMQ-FM in Lennoxville, and an edited recording of the show on Dependencies was re-broadcast on CJAS in St-Augustin. Based on the success of the 2007 pilot, for winter 2008 the community radio project was expanded to include more regions, a wider range of informational programming and Internet dissemination.

Health and Social Services Networking and Partnerships Initiatives : Final Evaluation Report - Jacob, Johann; Marceau, Richard (Centre de recherche et d’expertise en évaluation, 2008)
In February 2005, the Quebec Community Group Network (QCGN) mandated the Centre de recherche et d’expertise en évaluation (CREXE) at L’École nationale d’administration publique (ENAP) to evaluate the Health and Social Services Networking and Partnership Initiative (HSSNPI). Specifically, the mandate was to evaluate the a) implementation and b) the impacts (results) of the program. The evaluation process consisted of three phases. In Phase 1 information was collected on the program issue and its various facets in order to document the raison d’être for the intervention and plan the subsequent im-plementation and effects studies. It concluded with the submission of an evaluation framework in April 2005. In Phase 2 (carried out in fall 2005 and winter 2006) the implementation and pre-liminary impacts of the program were assessed. A report on Phase 2 of the evalua-tion process was provided by CREXE to the QCGN in October 2006. In Phase 3, CREXE completed its assessment of the impacts (results) of the HSSNPI with regard to the English-speaking population. Phase 3, was undertaken in the fall 2007 and a final evaluation report was submitted in March 2008. Under Health Canada’s Contribution Program to Improve Access to Health Services for Official Language Minority Communities, the QCGN received approximately $4.3 million in funding over five years (2003-2008) to implement the HSSNPI. The main objective of the program was to build provincial, regional, local, and sector health and social service networks in Quebec. These networks were intended to help to establish durable links between specific English-speaking communities and their health and social services systems with a view to improving access to a wider range of English-language services in the specific communities identified.

Building Better Futures for Our Children - Coasters Association (2008)
Early Childhood Development (ECD) is an umbrella term referring to the first developmental stage in a child’s life. Between the ages of 0-5, children experience a rush of accelerated growth…physically, mentally, emotionally, morally, and socially. A child’s brain development in the first six years of life sets the foundation for lifelong learning, behaviour, and health. The education, care and attention children receive from their parents and other caregivers during this crucial period have a decisive effect on their personal futures as well as on the economy and society in general. The following is a report that outlines the activities that were carried out throughout the project for Early Childhood Development. The main goal of this project was to identify the resources, programs, services, and the needs of each community on the Lower North Shore in regards to youth aged 0-5 and as a result increase the resources available to support early childhood programs on the Coast.

"A Matter of Services - Addressing the Health Issues" : October 2004 to March 2008 - Jones, Ida (Coasters Association, 2008)
The Coasters Association Inc. received a project from Health Canada entitled, “A matter of Services - Addressing the Health Issues” through the Quebec Community Group Network partners. The HSSNPI started on October 18th, 2004. In the first phase, we have accomplished the establishment of a networking committee called the Lower North Shore Coalition for Health (LNSCH). This committee steers the HSSNPI program and approves the data evidence plans generated. Surveys were created and focus groups held on topics (youth and children, women’s issues, wait times and post care, transportation and lodging, and drugs and alcohol) to determine the Health and Social Service needs of the population, this information was instrumental in the planning for the second phase. A synopsis of the current actions and history of the organizations involved in the LNSCH was completed. The mission of the project is to support the development of the capacity of Quebec’s English-speaking communities, to ensure their vitality through cooperation and partnership with the health and social services system, in order to improve and to develop and maintain access to the full range of services for Quebec’s English - speaking minority communities.

The Baseline Data Report 2007-2008 : Quebec's Social and Health Survey Information - Pocock, Joanne (Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN), 2008)
The Health and Social Services Networking and Partnership Initiative (HSSNPI) is a funding program of the Quebec Community Groups Network mandated by Health Canada as a measure of the Federal Action Plan for Official Language Communities. The HSSNPI aims to support the creation of durable links and joint action between English-speaking communities and Quebec’s health and social services system. The Baseline Data Report is a series produced by the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) to serve as a relevant and comprehensive knowledge base regarding the health status and vitality of Quebec’s English‐speaking population. The report is intended to serve as a resource that will allow local communities to better understand the demographic factors and health determinants affecting them and to assist institutional partners and community leaders to develop strategies to improve the well‐being of their constituencies.

Horizontal Management of Official Languages - Savoie, Donald J. (Canada. Office of the Comissioner of Official Languages, 2008)
In its May 2007 report on the relocation of head offices, the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages asked the Commissioner of Official Languages to study horizontal management and make recommendations. The Commissioner decided to charge an expert in this field, Donald J. Savoie, with the mandate of assessing the current official languages management structure in the federal administration and making recommendations with regard to coordination. In March 2008, Professor Savoie submitted his practical advice and guidance on the horizontal management of official languages to the Commissioner of Official Languages, and we have reproduced it in its entirety in this publication. The Commissioner has relied primarily on Professor Savoie’s work to take stock of horizontal governance in his 2007-2008 Annual Report. The Commissioner has also made recommendations for improving horizontal management of official languages.

La gestion horizontale des langues officielles - Savoie, Donald J. (Canada. Office of the Comissioner of Official Languages, 2008)
Dans son rapport de mai 2007 sur le déménagement des sièges sociaux, le Comité permanent des langues officielles du Sénat demande au commissaire aux langues officielles de se pencher sur la gestion horizontale et de faire des recommandations. Le commissaire a décidé de confier un mandat à un expert du domaine, Donald J. Savoie, en lui demandant d’évaluer la structure actuelle de la gestion des langues officielles au sein de l’administration fédérale et de prêter conseil à l’égard de la coordination. En mars 2008, le professeur Savoie a soumis au commissaire aux langues officielles ses conseils pratiques et son avis sur la gestion horizontale des langues officielles que nous reproduisons intégralement dans cette publication. Le commissaire s’est principalement basé sur le travail du professeur Savoie pour faire état de la gouvernance horizontale dans son rapport annuel 2007-2008. Le commissaire y a aussi formulé ses recommandations pour améliorer la gestion horizontale des langues officielles.

Lower North Shore Heritage Workbook : Following in the Footsteps of the Explorers - Anderson, Monica; Benoit, Kristina; Blattel, Adrienne; Cochrance, Candace (Coasters Association, 2008)
History is the study of past human events and activities. Studying history can help us better understand where we come from and therefore who we are as people. Historians have a lot in common with explorers, only they are traveling through time AND place. They hunt for clues about how people lived and acted in the past. To do this, they must use a lot of tools such as books, original documents, drawings and maps, and artefacts. They talk to people who might have lived through the time they are studying or who know stories handed down from that time. Some, like the movie character Indiana Jones, take a pick and shovel to dig in the earth to find answers to their question about the past. After they have found as much information as possible, they piece their story together and present it in books, museum exhibits, or documentaries. Being an historian takes patience and hard work but, like exploring, it can also be exciting to find out new things about olden times.

Ancestors : Life, Death, and Descendants of Quebec City's Anglophones - Morrin Centre (2008)
Quebec City’s cemeteries have lots to say about our ancestors and the past. They are places of remembrance for those close to the departed, but they are also a storehouse of memories for the whole community. Cemeteries are closely linked to religious belief : They express a particular vision of the world, a set of values and a culture.

Building the City : The Influence of English Speakers on Quebec City's Architecture - Morrin Centre (2008)
Quebec City is praised for its quintessential Frenchness, yet a closer look at its architecture reveals a city with a strong British influence. Ninety-five per cent of the city was built or modified after the British conquest in 1759. In the middle of the ninete nth century, half the people in the Upper Town were English speakers, and they left a clear mark on the built environment. Many of the city’s important landmarks, from the Château Frontenac to the Price Building, were designed by English-speaking architects.

Les ancêtres : vie, mort et descendance des anglophones de la ville de Québec - Morrin Centre (2008)
Les cimetières de la ville de Québec constituent une mine de renseignements précieuse à propos de nos ancêtres et du passé. Ils sont des lieux de mémoire, tant pour les proches des disparus que pour la collectivité. Étroitement liés à une religion, les cimetières sont l’expression tangible d’une vision du monde, d’un ensemble de valeurs, d’une culture.

Les bâtisseurs : l'influence anglophone sur l'architecture de Québec - Morrin Centre (2008)
Bien que l’on vante le caractère français de Québec, son architecture a subi une influence anglaise considérable : 95 % des édifices sont construits ou modifiés après 1759, suite à la Conquête. Au milieu du 19e siècle, la moitié des habitants de la Haute-Ville sont anglophones et leur présence marque le patrimoine bâti de la ville. De nombreux monuments caractéristiques de Québec, du Château Frontenac à l’édifice Price, sont conçus par des architectes anglophones.

L’historien grec Hérodote disait de l’Égypte qu’elle était un « don du Nil » tant ce fleuve était important dans la vie des Égyptiens. De la même façon, on pourrait dire que Québec est un don du Saint-Laurent. Le Saint-Laurent était le « boulevard » des Autochtones, premiers habitants du territoire, avant de devenir la voie d’accès des explorateurs Français. Il est un facteur déterminant dans le choix de Samuel de Champlain d’établir une colonie à Québec, car il y voyait une route vers la Chine.

People of the River : Anglophone Life on the St. Lawrence - Morrin Centre (2008)
The Greek historian Herodotus summed up Egypt’s dependence on its great river by calling the country a “gift of the Nile.” In the same way, it could be said that Quebec is a gift of the St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence was the “boulevard” of the territory’s first inhabitants, the Aboriginal people. Then it became the access route for French explorers. Samuel de Champlain thought it was a route to China, and this was a determining factor in his decision to found a colony at Quebec.

A Policy Framework for Economic Development and Employability for the English-speaking Communities of Quebec : Submitted to the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) - Qu'anglo (2008)
Through previous research and following a number of community consultations, the QCGN had determined that there is a need for initiatives that will enable the English-speaking Communities of Quebec to work more effectively with the Government of Canada, the Government of Quebec, school boards and relevant stakeholders to more fully participate in the economy of province. Given the continuing exodus of educated and trained anglophones to seek employment opportunities elsewhere, and the difficulties faced by particular segments of the population, especially youth, visible minorities and newly arrived immigrants, who choose to seek employment and self-employment within Quebec, it was determined that an integrated and targeted approach to improve the economic development prospects of the community was required.

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.”

The Consultative Committee emphasized that improved access was intimately tied to the ability of English‐speaking communities to develop local networks and effective partnerships with public sector agencies. It was proposed that by maintaining and improving English‐language access to a full range of health and social services across diverse regional populations that these partnerships would help to promote better health outcomes and ensure the vitality of Quebec’s English‐speaking communities. The Committee underlined the need to pay special attention to the more isolated and demographically weak communities which face special challenges in providing health and social services in English to their respective populations.
