Quebec’s English-speaking minority community to get funding from Ottawa
The federal government says protecting Canada’s official languages is still one of their top priorities.“Two, creating new learning opportunities; three, supporting the vitality of our official language minority communities; and finally, furthering the federal government’s position as a key partner for our communities,” said Ottawa’s official languages minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor on Wednesday.
The minority English-speaking community in Quebec will get a portion of that budget to ensure its vitality.“We have not always received our fair share and it’s starting to look different for the English-speaking community,” said Sylvia Martin-Laforge, director-general of the Quebec Community Groups Network .“The trick will be how will we get the investment in the hands of the community,” said Martin-Laforge.
The group also worries about Bill C-13, which seeks to further regulate the use of French in private businesses in Quebec.
