Modernizing the Official Languages Act : the views of stakeholders who have witnessed the evolution of the Act / The Honourable René Cormier, chair ; The Honourable Rose-May Poirier, deputy chair.: YC34-0/421-11E-PDF
"The Official Languages Act turns 50 this year. With the tabling of this third interim report, the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages is now halfway through its study on the modernization of the Act. After hearing from young Canadians and representatives of official language minority communities, the committee wanted to take a look at how the Act has been implemented from its inception in 1969 to today. The committee therefore invited people who have witnessed its evolution to give testimony or submit a brief. This report presents the views of individuals who are very familiar with how the Act works and have experienced the effects of its implementation on a day-to-day basis. It summarizes the perspectives of former community organization representatives, judges, commissioners and public servants as well as current politicians, researchers and representatives of the province of New Brunswick"--Report highlights, page v.
