Bill 103: Collective Rights and the Declining Vitality of the English-speaking Communities of Quebec: An Impact Study Submitted to the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN)
|
| Abstract |
Bill 103 modified the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Charter of the French Language in 2010, further restricting access to English schools in the province. The authors argue that a key premise of Bill 103 was based on the erroneous notion that the French language and its speakers are threatened in the Province of Quebec. This false premise brought the Liberal Government of Jean Charest to draft Bill 103 with regulations making it virtually impossible for Allophone and immigrant children to be approved as pupils in the publicly funded English schools of Quebec. The authors outline the demographic decline of the English-speaking communities of Quebec and provides evidence of the fifty percent enrolment decline in the English school system since the adoption of Bill 101 in 1977.
