Title
Building Bridges : Final Report on the 2019 Consultations
Abstract
A report on the 2019 consultation with some 300 organizations serving English-speaking communities on the priorities and orientations of the Quebec Government's Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise. The Secretariat concluded the consultations highlighted the need for enhanced access to services for English speakers, funding for community services that is reflective of the reality of English-speaking communities, and a desire among the English-speaking communities to not only stay in Quebec but to fully participate in Quebec society, through employment, the arts and community life. It also found that there is a strong desire for English speakers to be hired by the Quebec public service. There is also a desire that the Government of Quebec be more transparent about federal-provincial funding transfers. The Secretariat noted that as a "builder of bridges," it has already begun implementing findings from the consultation. Bilateral briefings of key departments on the consultation results are being organized. Input is being provided towards the Plan d’action gouvernementale sur l’action communautaire (MTESS). Measures are being developed for consideration in the 2020 budget. The author notes that participation in the Conférences administratives régionales will build awareness of the Secrétariat and of the English-speaking communities.
