2022 CROSS-CANADA OFFICIAL LANGUAGES CONSULTATIONS
CURRENT STATUS: OPEN
Opens May 24, 2022, and closes August 31, 2022.
ABOUT THE CONSULTATIONS
The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages, has a
mandate to develop a new plan for official languages. This process will be
informed by a consultation exercise running from May 24 to the end of August.
The consultations target the general public, official language minority
communities, advocacy organizations, provincial and territorial representatives,
and federal institutions and organizations.
Through this new Action Plan, the Government of Canada is committed to doing
more and doing better, in order to maintain its support for the vitality of
official language minority communities and the advancement of the two official
languages, while giving special attention to the protection and promotion of
French across Canada, including in Quebec. The government wants to renew its
efforts in the area of official languages in a way that reflects and showcases
the strengths associated with the rich diversity of our communities.
The purpose of this plan is to use programs and funding to further and support
the full gamut of legislative and administrative measures in the reform document
entitled English and French: Towards a Substantive Equality of Official
Languages in Canada.
WHY ARE WE CONSULTING?
The purpose of these consultations is to determine whether the broad objectives
and initiatives of Action Plan 2018–2023 are still appropriate, given the
guiding principles of the language regime reform, and to make the necessary
adjustments. Those guiding principles are:
1. to improve the compliance of federal institutions and organizations with the
Act;
2. to protect and promote French across Canada;
3. to stimulate learning and appreciation of the two official languages; and
4. to strengthen our support in order to foster the development of Canada’s
rich and numerous official language minority communities.
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE?
The Government of Canada is seeking input from all Canadians, whether in Canada
or abroad, who have an interest in, or want to share their opinion on, official
languages.
