The Trudeau government's attempt to modernize the Official Languages Act has led to pushback from many circles, including MPs within his party.
Constitutional lawyer Julius Grey says the English-speaking community in Quebec is being deserted for 'purely political' reasons.
While the bill includes a commitment to "enhancing the vitality of the English and French linguistic minority communities in Canada and supporting and assisting their development," there are concerns that a series of amendments led by the Bloc Québécois and supported by other opposition parties will further erode the rights of English-speaking Quebecers by emphasizing that anglophones in Quebec have "different needs" than francophones outside Quebec.
While that same census also showed that 94 per cent of Quebecers can communicate in French, a number virtually unchanged from the previous census of 2011, perceptions in Quebec that go as far back as the 1839 Durham report — which strongly suggested that francophones be assimilated — have led most people in the province to see English as a threat to the long-term survival of French.
