It's not really on anyone's radar in Quebec. Programs introduced under the Official Languages Act represent somewhere between $80 million and $100 million a year. That funding's currently used solely to shore up English and all the anglophone pressure groups such as the Quebec Community Groups Network. So it has a major impact.
Under the present government, you can see the opposition parties are in favour of enforcing Bill 101 in federally regulated businesses. The Liberal Party is opposed to it and thinks the Official Languages Act could be amended to favour French. Earlier you talked about the Public Service Alliance of Canada. When Alliance representatives appeared before the Standing Committee on Official Languages, they said that systemic discrimination was deeply rooted in the federal government, which takes it for granted that everything's done first of all in English.
Do you think the Official Languages Act can be amended to make French the common language?
The federal government will continue anglicizing the language of work if the Liberals successfully oppose the bill.
