Title
Le bien-fondé de la clause Québec dans l’Outaouais, vingt ans après le coup de force constitutionnel de 1982
Abstract
As part of its plan to demonstrate Canadian unity, the federal government moved thousands of federal public service jobs to Hull beginning in 1971. According to the author, this had the effect of increasing the English-speaking population and accelerating the anglicization of the French-speaking population of this region. To halt the decline of French in the province, the Government of Quebec passed Bill 101 in 1977 containing the so-called Quebec clause, whereby English-speakers from other parts of Canada who moved to Quebec would be required to send their children to French language schools if they chose the public school system. The author argues that the defeat of the 1980 referendum and the overturning of the Quebec clause by the Supreme Court of Canada set the anglicization of the West Quebec region in motion again.
