| Title |
Rights in Conflict: Contemporary Disputes Over Language Policy in Quebec
|
| Abstract |
When the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the signage provisions of Bill 101 in 1988, the debate over replacement provisions was framed as a conflict of rights – the collective rights of the Francophone majority versus the individual rights and freedom of expression of Quebec’s English-speaking minority. The author argues that the outcome of the debate, Bill 86, represented a more tolerant approach to minority languages and a greater accommodation of the English-language community.
