Title
French-English Relations in Business-Interest Associations, 1965-2002
Abstract
A follow-up on the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism’s investigation of language practices in the private sector and in voluntary associations. The authors conclude that, three decades after the Royal Commission’s studies were published, the cordiality found between French and English in general business associations in the 1960s has continued to be the rule in these types of associations. Federal-level associations tend to have accommodated institutional bilingualism but retained English as their language of work. Quebec-based associations have moved to conform to official unilingualism. The number of non-francophones in positions of authority in the Quebec groups has diminished.
