| Abstract | The English and French languages have been in everyday use in some part of what is now Canada for almost 400 years. The constitution of Canada states that they have equal status in the Parliament and courts of Canada and in the legislature and courts of the province of Quebec. In 1969 Parliament passed the Official Languages Act, which declared that the English and French languages are the official languages of Canada for all purposes of the Government of Canada and that they possess and enjoy equality of status. This book reviews the origins of this policy and the country's experience with it. It consists of the following chapters: (1) Language, Culture and Government; (2) Language and Perspectives on Canadian History; (3) Language and Canadian Unity; (4) Principles of the Official Languages Policy of Canada; (5) Official Languages and Individual Canadians; (6) Official Languages and the Programs of the Federal Government; (7) Official Languages and the Provinces. Both English and French versions are provided, back-to-back, in one volume. (CFM) |
