PRESS RELEASE FROM QAHN: "Two Official Language Minorities in Canada, Not Just One"

Two Official Language Minorities in Canada, Not Just One

Sherbrooke, Quebec. February 8, 2021

Canada’s Official Languages Act was established upon the principle that this country has two official languages, English and French, and that official language minority communities in Quebec (English-speaking Canadians) and elsewhere in Canada (French-speaking Canadians) must be treated equally -- at least in terms of federal language policy and delivery of services and support.
