L’évolution des rapports minorité-majorité au Canada et au Québec de 1867 à nos jours
|
| Abstract |
Analyzes the provisions of the Constitution Act, 1867, (the British North America Act) devised to protect language minorities. The author argues that these provisions created an asymmetrical situation in that only Quebec was subjected to certain obligations with respect to its Anglophone minority while the other provinces were not under similar obligations with respect to their Francophone minorities. He further argues that this nineteenth century legislation led to Quebec adopting the Official Language Act (Bill 22) in 1974 and the Charter of the French Language (Bill 101) in 1977, in part to restrict the traditional rights of the province’s Anglophone population. To block the language policies of Quebec, the Trudeau government secured the enactment of the Constitution Act, 1982, containing the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guaranteed certain language rights, in particular minority language education rights.
