The government of Canada and French on the internet.: SF31-39/1999E-PDF
"Under the Official Languages Act, the Commissioner of the Official Languages is committed to promoting the use of English and French in Canadian society. Such support must, nowadays, involve the use of various communications technologies, ranging from print to television and including radio and film. The internet, the latest technology available to the general public, is a central element of the developing knowledge society. The internet therefore will have an increasing impact on the development of the official languages of Canada. In particular, the Internet can have a profound influence on the organization of the Government of Canada and how it provides services to and communicates with Canadians. The English language predominates on all electronic networks, including the Internet. It is therefore vital that the Commissioner ensure that French has its equitable place in exchanges that use this new method of communication and publication"--Introduction, page [3].
