Human Rights And Freedoms: Charter Of Human Rights

Quebec Community Dept: English-speaking Quebecers are not a threat to the majority. Au contraire, English-speaking Quebecers have made -and continue to make -enormous contributions to Quebec society in every walk of life, from education and business to health and agriculture, not to mention science, technology and the arts. Anglophones are largely bilingual, and strive to ensure their children are bilingual and bicultural. Far from being a threat, the English-speaking minority is an asset, according to Montreal Gazette. Bill 103 has been talked about principally in terms of access to English schools, and there are several groups that have spoken out effectively on issues affecting the schools that are, after all, the cornerstones of our community. What is less often discussed is that Bill 103 also proposes important changes to the Charter of the French Language and the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms detrimental to the Englishspeaking minority and it's time for Quebec to rethink its relationship with its English-speaking minority. That's the message the Quebec Community Groups Network delivered to the National Assembly's public hearings on Bill 103 this month. The QCGN went to Quebec City looking for official recognition of the contribution that English-speaking Quebecers make to Quebec and for legal protection of our minority rights and freedoms. As reported in the news.
