Language regimes in the provinces and territories / revised by Marie-Ève Hudon. : YM32-10/2011-66-2025E-PDF

"In Canada, the Constitution does not contain any provision on jurisdiction over language. In a 1988 decision, the Supreme Court of Canada asserted: Language is not an independent matter of legislation but is rather "ancillary" to the exercise of jurisdiction with respect to some class of subject matter assigned to Parliament or the provincial legislatures by the Constitution Act, 1867. The power to legislate in the area of language, therefore, belongs to the various levels of government, under their respective legislative authorities. … This HillStudy summarizes the existing provincial and territorial language regimes, as well as current practices in intergovernmental collaboration. Although it addresses the main features of these regimes, it is not considered exhaustive"--Introduction, pages 1, 2.
