The Canadian Bilingual Districts : From Cornerstone to Tombstone
|
| Abstract |
Bilingual districts were recommended in 1969 by the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism to help resolve Canada's sociolinguistic tensions. The author points out that as the "cornerstone" of the Commission's 150 recommendations and its federal language policy, these administrative enclaves were intended to provide symbolic recognition of minority homelands and to delineate where federal, provincial, and municipal public services should be made available in both official languages. The author traces the complex path that led to the demise of the plan in 1976, following pressure from the federal Treasury Board Secretariat.
