Official Languages Act : a guide for Canadians.: S55-2/3-1993E-PDF
"The Act respecting the status and use of the official languages of Canada, which came into force on September 15, 1988, replaced the first Act passed in 1969. The aims of the new Act are to ensure respect for the equal status of English and French in federal institutions, to enhance the vitality of the English-speaking and French-speaking minority communities, and to advance the recognition and use of the two official languages in Canada. The Official Languages Act and complementary official-language policies and programs seek to ensure that services from federal institutions are available to Canadians in the official language of their choice and to promote the equitable participation of members of both language groups in these institutions, regardless of their cultural origin or mother tongue. The new Act also aims to allow those Canadians who wish to do so to benefit from the advantages of the presence of these two languages in our country"--Foreword.
