• Official Languages Act Must Safeguard the Minority Language Rights of All Canadians

    To protect the language rights of English-speaking Quebecers and all Canadians, we are calling upon the Justice Minister David Lametti and the Government of Canada to remove all references to the Charter of the French Language in its bill to overhaul the Official Languages Act. We are also asking Parliamentarians to ensure that all language rights created by Parliament are extended to both official languages – English and French.
