    BRIEF BY PROFESSOR FRANÇOIS LAROCQUE RESEARCH CHAIR IN LANGUAGE RIGHTS UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA PRESENTED TO THE SENATE STANDING COMMITTEE ON OFFICIAL LANGUAGES AS PART OF ITS STUDY OF THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGES REFORM PROPOSAL UNVEILED ON FEBRUARY 19, 2021, BY THE MINISTER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND OFFICIAL LANGUAGES, ENGLISH AND FRENCH: TOWARDS A SUBSTANTIVE EQUALITY OF OFFICIAL LANGUAGES IN CANADA MAY 31, 2021 Professor François Larocque Faculty of Law, Common Law Section University of Ottawa 57 Louis Pasteur Ottawa, ON K1J 6N5 Telephone: 613-562-5800, ext. 3283 Email: [email protected] 1. Thank you very much to the honourable members of the Senate Standing Committee on Official Languages (the “Committee”) for inviting me to testify and submit a brief as part of the study of the official languages reform proposal entitled French and English: Towards a Substantive Equality of Official Languages in Canada (“the reform proposal”). A) The reform proposal includes ambitious and essential measures 2. First, I would like to congratulate the Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages for her leadership and vision. It is, in my opinion, the most ambitious official languages reform proposal since the enactment of the Constitution Act, 1982 (“CA1982”)1 and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (“Charter”),2 which enshrined the main provisions of the Official Languages Act (“OLA”)3 of 1969 in the Canadian Constitution. The last reform of the OLA was in 1988 and it is past time to modernize it to adapt it to Canada’s linguistic realities and challenges in the 21st century. 3. The Charter and the OLA proclaim that “English and French are the official languages of Canada and have equality of status and equal rights and privileges as to their use in all institutions of the Parliament and government of Canada.”4 In reality, however, as reported by Statistics Canada,5 English is dominant everywhere, while French is declining, including in Quebec.

  • Le Passage Du Canada Français À La Francophonie Mondiale : Mutations Nationales, Démocratisation Et Altruisme Au Mouvement Richelieu, 1944 – 1995
    Le passage du Canada français à la Francophonie mondiale : mutations nationales, démocratisation et altruisme au mouvement Richelieu, 1944 – 1995 par Serge Dupuis A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Serge Dupuis 2013 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Je déclare par la présente que je suis le seul auteur de cette thèse. Il s’agit d’une copie réelle de la thèse, y compris toute révision finale requise, telle qu’acceptée par les examinateurs. Je comprends que ma thèse pourrait être rendue disponible électroniquement au public. Serge Dupuis 30 August 2013 ii Abstract / Résumé This thesis argues that French Canada did not simply fragment into regional and provincial identities during the 1960s and 1970s, but was also kept afloat by the simultaneous emergence of a francophone supranational reference. In order to demonstrate this argument, I have studied the archives of the Richelieu movement, a French Canadian society founded in 1944 in Ottawa, which was internationalized in the hopes of developing relationships amongst the francophone elite around the world. This thesis also considers the process of democratization and the evolution of conceptions of altruism within the movement, signalling again the degree to which the global project of the Francophonie captivated the spirits of Francophones in North America, but also in Europe, the Caribbean and Africa.

  • Liberties, Claims and a Very Canadian Conversation
    LANGUAGE RIGHTS: LIBERTIES, CLAIMS AND A VERY CANADIAN CONVERSATION Graham Fraser Language rights are not only central to the cultural identity of Canada’s two founding language communities, they are central to both Canada’s constitutional traditions, with group freedoms and denominational schools initially guaranteed under the British North America Act, and individual rights entrenched in the Charter. “In considering the Charter,” writes Canada’s new Commissioner of Official Languages, “it is easy to think that rights and freedoms are almost synonyms. They aren’t.” Graham Fraser considers the BNA Act versus Charter status of language rights, and recounts the modern context, from the B&B Commission of the 1960s, to the Official Languages Act of 1969, to the entrenchment of minority language rights in the Charter. Les droits linguistiques sont aussi indissociables de l’identité culturelle des deux communautés fondatrices du pays que de nos deux traditions constitutionnelles. En témoignent la garantie des libertés collectives et des écoles confessionnelles inscrite dès l’origine dans l’Acte de l’Amérique du Nord britannique, puis celle des droits individuels intégrée à la Charte des droits et libertés. En vertu de celle-ci, écrit le nouveau commissaire aux langues officielles Graham Fraser, on peut d’ailleurs « imaginer que droits et libertés sont quasi synonymes, mais il n’en est rien ». L’auteur examine les statuts respectifs de l’Acte de l’Amérique du Nord britannique et de la Charte des droits et libertés à la lumière de l’histoire récente, depuis la Commission royale sur le bilinguisme et le biculturalisme des années 1960 jusqu’à la Loi sur les langues officielles de 1969 en passant par l’inscription dans la Charte des droits linguistiques des minorités linguistiques.

  • Understanding Canadian Bicameralism: Past, Present and Future
    1 Understanding Canadian Bicameralism: Past, Present and Future Presented at the 2018 Annual Conference of the Canadian Political Science Association Gary William O’Brien, Ph.D. June, 2018 Not be cited until a final version is uploaded 2 Studies of the Senate of Canada’s institutional design as well as the proposals for its reform have often focused on the method of selection, distribution of seats and powers.1 Another methodology is the use of classification models of bicameral second chambers which also explore power and representation dimensions but in a broader constitutional and political context. Although such models have been employed to study Canada’s upper house in a comparative way,2 they have not been used extensively to understand the origins of the Senate’s underlying structure or to analyze reform proposals for their impact on its present multi-purposed roles. This paper proposes to give a brief description of the models which characterize pre- and post-Confederation second chambers. Given that many of the legal and procedural provisions concerning Canada’s current upper house can be traced back to the Constitutional Act, 1791 and the Act of Union, 1840, it will place Canadian bicameralism within its historical context. The Senate’s “architecture”, “essential characteristics” and “fundamental nature”, terms used in the 1980 and 2014 Supreme Court opinions but with no link to pre- Confederation antecedents, cannot be understood without references to Canadian parliamentary history. Finally, it will provide some observations on the nature of Canadian bicameralism and will conceptualize various reform proposals in terms of classification models.
