Book excerpt: "Every year, between 200,000 and 250,000 people are making Canada their new home every year. This constant influx of immigrants is of great value. It helps the country to prosper economically and maintain its demographic stability. It should also reinforce the social and linguistic fabric according to its core values. Unfortunately, this is not always the case: the specific focus of this study are communities where an official language is spoken in a minority context and where there are currently too few immigrants compared with the national average"--Foreword, page 3.

This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis 1967, année du centenaire de la Confédération, de nombreux épisodes de crise politique et de difficultés économiques ainsi que les événements internationaux ont contribué à la transformation de la société canadienne et continueront de façonner son avenir. En tenant compte de ces diverses difficultés et opportunités rencontrées dans le passé, à quoi ressemble l’avenir du Canada? Dans Réfléchir sur notre passé pour aborder notre avenir, des diplomates, des politiciens, des chercheurs et des personnages en vue dans le domaine des droits de l’homme, dont Phil Fontaine, Michaëlle Jean, Ellen Gabriel, Paul Heinbecker, Bob Rae, Jean Charest et David Suzuki mettent en commun leur sagesse et leur expérience des événements qui ont marqué l’histoire du pays au cours des cinquante dernières années. Réfléchissant au rôle complémentaire à la Chambre des communes du Sénat au Canada, ils examinent des enjeux clés comme la condition des peuples autochtones, les obligations imposées par la Charte des droits et libertés, la reconnaissance des deux langues officielles et les référendums sur l’unité nationale. Les collaborateurs abordent aussi la transformation de l’économie dans un monde numérisé et un système planétaire, le rôle du Canada sur la scène mondiale à une époque de tension croissante, le flot accru de réfugiés, les changements climatiques et l’incertitude entourant l’avenir de l’Arctique, la concurrence scientifique et culturelle sur le marché international et l’avenir de la démocratie parlementaire. Corrigeant les fausses idées à propos du rôle actuel du Sénat et donnant le contre-argument à une réforme radicale du Sénat, Réfléchir sur notre passé pour aborder notre avenir propose de riches perspectives et un aperçu fascinant de l’évolution probable du Canada au cours des prochaines années.

This book was released on 2021-06-22T00:00:00-04:00 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Charte. La loi 101 et les Québécois d’expression anglaise La Charte de la langue française, communément appelée loi 101, a profondément changé le Québec. Introduite en 1977, la loi décrète la primauté du français dans les ministères et organismes, dans certains lieux de travail et dans l’affichage commercial. Depuis, la minorité d’expression anglaise a connu un déclin démographique et économique et des fermetures d’écoles. Néanmoins, on remarque une croissance de sa vitalité organisationnelle et de sa participation dans le Québec francophone. En explorant les dimensions historiques, politiques, juridiques et socio-économiques de la Charte en lien avec les Québécois d’expression anglaise, cet ouvrage, qui comprend des textes en anglais et en français, fait ressortir la complexité entourant ces questions. The Charter: Bill 101 and English-Speaking Quebec The Charter of the French Language, also called Bill 101, profoundly changed Quebec. The 1977 law made state institutions, certain workplaces, and commercial signs predominantly French. Since the law's adoption, the English-speaking minority has experienced population loss, economic decline, and school closures, but also a growing organizational vitality and increased participation in Francophone Quebec. This book features chapters in English or French by researchers and engaged citizens. They explore the Charter in relation to English-speaking Quebec and within a broad historical, political, legal, and socio-economic context. A complex view of the Quebec law and its communities emerges.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is intended as an evaluation of the initiatives taken by the federal government in the area of immigration to OLMCs since the tabling of the 2003 report. [...] What this takes into account is the attraction that English can have on immigrants in Quebec, or used to have in the past.25 The issue of the definition and counting of immigrants who's FOLS is French and their inclusion in the statistics for the francophone group prompted many questions among the Committee members. [...] Statistics Canada treats double responses as follows: half the respondents in the French- English FOLS group are indexed as francophones and the other half as anglophones, so as to respect the relative frequency of use.26 This was the procedure decided upon by Treasury Board in the 1990s: The thing is that usually what the Treasury Board does is, and the approach that was adopted in the early 1990 [...] To respond to the recriminations of the FCFA, another order in council was published in August 2010, stating that the simplified census questionnaire of May 2011 will include additional questions on language in order to comply with the provisions of the OLA relating to offer of services to the population. [...] It would be in the interest of the federal government, the provinces and territories, and the communities, within the framework of their partnerships, to harmonize their definitions and variables and to coordinate the treatment of their statistics in order to obtain comparable data on immigration to OLMCs.
