Title
Should English-Speaking Quebecers Care About the Official Languages Act?
Abstract
The author's answer to the question posed in the article's title is: "Most emphatically, yes." He points out that the Act sets out quasi-constitutional rights for English-speaking Quebecers. It confers our right to access federal services in English; ensures representation of English-speakers in the federal public service; and provides the right to work in English within the federal public service. It supports the development of English and French linguistic minority communities. It advances the equal status and use of English and French. At its core, it endorses the principle of equality for both official languages.
