The new version of the act reads as follows:
2 The purpose of this Act is to (a) ensure respect for English and French as the official languages of Canada and ensure equality of status and equal rights and privileges as to their use…; (b) support the development of English and French linguistic minority communities in order to protect them while taking into account the fact that they have different needs; (b.1) advance the equality of status and use of the English and French languages within Canadian society, taking into account the fact that French is in a minority situation in Canada and North America…and that there is a diversity of provincial and territorial language regimes that contribute to the advancement, including Quebec's Charter of the French language…; (b.2) advance the existence of a majority-French society in a Quebec where the future of French is assured;…
I won't list all the positive measures, but the act mentions “the necessity of protecting and promoting the French language in each province and territory, taking into account that French is in a minority situation”.
We in the Bloc Québécois, as well as Liberal ministers, have often said that there's a need to protect French not only outside Quebec, but also in Quebec.
What positive measures do you think should be taken for French in Quebec?
