520 |a"In recent years, some federal parliamentarians have on occasion described English and French, which have official language status in Canada, as "national languages." This background paper situates the use of the term "national languages" in Canada's historic and linguistic landscape, beginning with a brief explanation of the difference between a "national language" and an "official language." It then traces the decision to use the term "official languages" to describe English and French, as well as the recommendation to give them a legal foundation, two factors leading to the adoption of the Official Languages Act in 1969. Lastly, it addresses the recent usage of "national languages" to better explain what some parliamentarians mean by that term"--Introduction, page 1.
