A Leger poll done for the Association for Canadian Studies and the Quebec Community Groups Network shows nearly 9 in 10 anglophones believe the French language is well protected in Quebec. Among francophones, only 4 in 10 believe that.
Radio CIBL’s Sunday show dedicated to senior’s rights, Des ainés et des droits, shined some light on the issue of Canadian seniors living in minority language situations – that is Francophones outside Quebec and Anglophones in Quebec on Sunday February 16. Among those interviewed were Sylvia Martin-Laforge, Director General of the Quebec Community Groups Network, and Debbie Horrocks whose father, a veteran of the Second World War, has had a hard time gaining access to long term care services in English. The segment on English-speaking Quebec seniors by reporter Alain Martineau begin 46 minutes into the show.
The QCGN is funded by the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage.
