Title
The Language Question and Quebec Education
Abstract
An examination of events in Quebec in the 1960s and early 1970s which led to the St. Léonard Crisis and the Commission royale d'enquête sur l'enseignement dans la province de Québec, also known as the Parent Commission (1961-1966). The author outlines the reactions of the Anglophone and Francophone communities of Greater Montreal, as well as that of the provincial government and Quebec nationalist organizations, to demands for educational reform and language legislation. The author argues that one of the major problems during this period in Quebec was the integration of immigrant children into English Catholic and Protestant schools.
