Résumé du mémoire législatif du Comité spécial sur le projet de loi no 96, Loi sur la langue officielle et commune du Qu(e)ébec, le français. - Comité Spécial sur la politique linguistique (2021)
Le Comité spécial sur la politique linguistique (« Comité spécial ») allègue que le projet de loi no 96 sur la modernisation de la Charte de la langue française redéfinit la structure juridique du Québec et du Canada de façon fondamentale et illégitime. Il établit la primauté de la langue française au-dessus de toute autre considération dans la pratique du droit et la gouvernance. Ce repositionnement linguistique est incompatible avec les droits individuels, la justice naturelle, les droits de la personne, les droits civils, l’unité nationale et la notion d’un Canada symétriquement bilingue.

The Importance of Resurrecting English-speaking Healthcare Services in Québec - Jackson-Cappuccino, Ella (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
French is the first language of 71.2% of Quebecers. For the remaining 27.9%, communication outside of this language can be difficult, especially in regard to health care (Ouimet et. al 3).This is of concern as those who seek medical attention or health resources may not be provided adequate care given the linguistic barrier. Particularly, it is Québec’s Englishspeaking minority that is most affected by this issue (Ouimet et. al 3). Within this minority, there are still hundreds of thousands of English-speaking individuals who desire to seek health services in their first official language. The wish does not simply arise due to a lack of bilingualism. Evidence shows that in times of crisis - when individuals look to communicate a matter of importance - they most often revert to their mother tongue (Silver 686). Without resources designed to cater to the English-speaking population, the government subjects this linguistic minority group to unequal health care services.

Executive Summary of Task Force Legislative Brief on Bill 96, An Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Qu(e)ébec - Task Force on Linguistic Policy (2021)
The Task Force on Linguistic Policy (“Task Force”) submits that Bill 96, the proposed modernization of the Charter of the French Language, redefines and restructures Quebec’s and Canada’s legal structure in fundamental and illegitimate ways. It institutes the primacy of the French language above all other considerations in law and governance. This linguistic re-engineering is incompatible with individual rights, natural justice, human and civil rights, national unity and a bilingual country.

Du 3 au 5 novembre 2021, des chercheurs, des praticiens, des intervenants communautaires et des décideurs des quatre coins du Québec se sont réunis virtuellement à l’occasion d’un évènement de trois jours intitulé Forum sur l’éducation et la vitalité : Soutenir l’éducation des minorités de langue anglaise au Québec. Il s’agissait du deuxième forum organisé par la Table d’éducation interordres (ILET), un comité du Réseau de recherche sur les communautés québécoises d’expression anglaise (QUESCREN) de l’Université Concordia, et il avait pour objectif d’encourager la mobilisation en vue d’élaborer au Québec une offre d’enseignement en langue anglaise qui soit saine et viable et favorise la persévérance scolaire, l’accès à de bons emplois dans la province et un fort sentiment d’identité et d’appartenance. Le présent rapport donne une vue d’ensemble du Forum et des principaux messages à retenir.

Gun Violence in Montréal : Context, Causes, Reactions, and Recommendations - Pettem, Alexandre (Youth for Youth Québec (Y4Y Québec), 2021)
Montréal has recently been experiencing an unprecedented spike in gun violence, primarily perpetrated by a younger demographic. These shootings are occurring more frequently in broad daylight, in the midst of populated urban areas (Magder). As of August 31, the Montréal police (the SPVM) had documented 77 separate firearms being discharged, with 360 bullets being fired in roughly 100 shootings. This has already surpassed total instances for 2019 and 2020. 654 firearms have been seized, furthermore, the highest ever for the SPVM. This has led to 23 homicides, which is already rapidly approaching the 25 that were observed in both 2019 and 2020 (Perron).

Opening Remarks by QCGN President, the Honourable Marlene Jennings, P.C., LLB to the Committee on Culture and Education : Special Consultations and Public Hearings on Bill 96, an Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Quebec - Jennings, Marlene (2021)

Brief to the National Assembly Committee on Culture and Education : Special Consultations and Public Hearings on Bill 96, an Act Respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Quebec - Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) (2021)
In this brief, the QCGN articulates three sets of concerns: first, Bill 96 fundamentally alters the Quebec state, which is of concern to all Quebecers. Second, Bill 96 will make it harder to do business in Quebec, which is also of concern to all Quebecers. Third, Bill 96 will have adverse impacts on the 1.1 million Quebecers who belong to the English-speaking minority. The QCGN supports the policy goal of promoting the French language in Quebec, but suggests there are other ways to achieve this goal in an inclusive manner, to the benefit of all Quebecers.

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).

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.
