A Complex Puzzle : Realities of English-speaking Seniors in Quebec - Bell, Shannon (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2025)
Ideally, we would grow old in good health, maintaining physical and mental well-being and enjoy social inclusion and economic security in a respectful and supportive environment. However, despite strategies to build toward such an ideal in the face of an aging population, public policy and programs at all levels of government largely continue to be shaped by the needs of younger generations. This brief looks at challenges that Quebec’s English-speaking seniors face. It draws on research and policy efforts aimed at understanding and improving the aging experience in the province.

Public Services in English Quebec : A Primer - Bell, Shannon (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2025)
Who can access public services in English in Quebec, and under what circumstances? The answer depends on which level of government - federal or provincial - is involved, since each has its own language rules. While Quebec operates with French as its only offi cial language, Canada recognizes both English and French at the federal level. This brief explores how Quebec’s French-first policy coexists with federal bilingualism, how this affects English use, and by extension English speakers, in the areas of education, healthcare, and public administration.

Linguistic Identity Complexities in English-speaking Quebec - Donovan, Patrick (Quebec English-speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2025)

User Journeys of Language Learners Navigating Québec's French Language Training System - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2024)
In recent years, the Québec government has significantly invested in French language training programs to promote greater usage of French in workplaces, schools, and society. Alongside these efforts, public discourse has emerged about the perceptions French-speaking Quebecers hold of English speakers, many of whom believe that English speakers are not committed to learning or using French despite the availability of publicly funded French language training resources. To explore these issues, this study examines the experiences, motivations, and barriers faced by English-speaking individuals in the labour force regarding French language training, particularly following the introduction of new services by Francisation Québec in June 2023. In doing so, we develop a broad typology of different language learners and explore their language-learning journey through interviews regarding their experiences and perceptions of the French language, language training, and navigating Québec’s labour market. We also interview subject matter experts to identify types of language learners and key themes. We then discuss the impact that these different experiences have on language learners’ outcomes, as well as the types of policy and program approaches that could improve their experiences with adult French language training programs.

Challenges in Early Learning and Child Care for Quebec's English-speaking Community - Bell, Shannon (Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2024)
Early childhood education and care (ECEC). Early learning and child care. Nursery school. Preschool. Daycare. Centres de la petite enfance (CPE). There are many names and acronyms, but they all refer to the care and, ideally, educative care of young children in the years before compulsory elementary schooling. Modern wisdom views such programs as essential, and yet, in Quebec, English-speaking families face unique challenges in accessing them. This research brief explores these barriers, current efforts being made to address them, and potential solutions.

Demographic Decline of English Speakers in Certain Regions of Quebec - Bell, Shannon; Donovan, Patrick (Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2024)
How is English faring in Quebec? While 2021 census data reflect a recent increase in English usage in the Montreal and Gatineau areas, a more complex portrait emerges when examining other parts of Quebec and longer time periods. The 20th century was marked by a decline in the proportion of English speakers in most Quebec regions. The trend has shifted in the past 20 years, yet a notable decline continues in parts of coastal Quebec, the Eastern Townships, and Rouyn-Noranda. This brief looks at regions experiencing a decline in their English-speaking populations, and considers the forces driving recent changes.

Building Bridges : Perceptions and Realities About the English-speaking Communities of Quebec and their Relationship with French in Quebec and Bilingualism in Canada - Canada. Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (2024)
The Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages (the Office of the Commissioner) has observed that, in recent years, the English-speaking communities of Quebec (ESCQ) have been the focus of much public discourse and debate in the province. Survey and census data indicate that, overall, the ESCQ are highly bilingual and value Canada’s broader linguistic duality, including the French language. The extent to which the general population is aware of these facets of the ESCQ is not clear, however, and the Office of the Commissioner wished to test the hypothesis that problematic myths may persist. In light of this context and with the modernization of the Official Languages Act by the federal government in 2023, which recognizes the need to “advance the existence of a majority-French society in a Quebec where the future of French is assured,” this research project is an opportunity to shed light on the relationship that the ESCQ have with the French language in Quebec and official bilingualism in Canada as a whole. This is also an opportunity to explore how Quebec’s English-speaking minority can be considered as bridge-builders or even as a potential ally of the promotion of French in Canada as a whole, with a view to developing a more constructive discourse that better acknowledges their contributions and, ultimately, deconstructs certain misperceptions.

Employment Situation of English Speakers in Québec - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2024)

Pre-Budget Submission 2024-2025 - Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) (2024)
The Provincial Employment Roundtable Table (PERT) is pleased to submit this brief and proposition to the Ministry of Finance’s 2024-25 Pre-budget consultations. Founded in 2020, PERT is a non-profit organization focused on addressing the employment and employability issues that are being faced by Québec’s English-speaking communities. Since its creation, PERT has become the leading voice on the solutions to English speakers’ employment challenges. Through its research and stakeholder coordination work, PERT has published over 25 reports that capture the employment issues and needs of English speakers across all 17 regions of the province and has established a membership of 90 employment service deliverers, educational institutions, regional organizations, and employers. The employment situation of Québec’s English-speaking population continues to worsen, as demonstrated by the higher unemployment rates and French-language barriers that English speakers face in Québec’s labour market. In this brief, we identify two key contributors to the continued employment challenges of English speakers: a lack of targeted employment services and programs for English speakers and a lack of work-integrated French language training programs to help them enter and remain in the labour market. English speakers’ employment and economic challenges are part of the larger economic headwinds that are facing Québec, which include unprecedented labour shortages, demographic decline, and problems with attracting and retaining talent. This mémoire summarizes PERT’s research findings, particularly the employment challenges facing the English-speaking community in Québec, and advances recommendations for the next budget that will address these challenges and help create a more productive, inclusive, and prosperous Québec for all.

Exploring the English-speaking Landscape : A Typology of Vulnerability Associated with Employment in Quebec's English-speaking Population - Warnke, Jan; Bolger, Laura-Lee (Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), 2024)
This exploratory study uses geodemographic analytical methods to investigate the English-speaking population of Quebec, with a specific focus on vulnerability indicators associated with employment and their spatial distribution within the province. Using Ward’s cluster analysis method, eight distinct groups were identified and mapped, each showcasing unique characteristics that warrant tailored policy measures to effectively tackle regional employment challenges. Future research should delve into the differential impacts of various variables across clusters, particularly those related to mobility and aboriginal identity, thereby facilitating the derivation of targeted policy interventions.

A Snapshot of Poverty Among Québec’s English-speaking Communities - 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, experiencing higher rates of poverty and unemployment and earning 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. Furthermore, many of these challenges, especially lack of wrap-around supports (e.g. housing or food security), can directly contribute to – and result from – poverty.

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.

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.

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.
