About a hundred groups are funded by various programs under the Official Languages Act. Among them is TALQ, formerly the Quebec Community Groups Network, which was preceded by Alliance Quebec. Those groups are funded; their mission is funded. By funding their mission, continued funding is ensured, which allows the development of a narrative that, in parliamentary committees and English-language newspapers, presents anglophones as a minority victimized by a francophone majority that seeks to eliminate them. We often see this approach, particularly in the parliamentary commission on Bill 96.
Furthermore, these same organizations are featured in The Gazette and continue to promote the same narrative of victimhood among anglophones. They try to make francophones feel guilty because they want to implement Bill 96 and shape society to promote franconormativity in Quebec. Francophones want two speakers with different mother tongues who meet in Montreal to use French naturally and effortlessly, much the way two people with different mother tongues meeting in Toronto use English effortlessly.
This whole conversation undermines efforts to maintain the health of French in Quebec and Canada, because if French declines in Quebec, it is clear that minorities outside Quebec will suffer. A Quebec that is strong in terms of the French language will benefit minorities outside Quebec.
