STATE BILINGUALISM [1 record]

Record 1 2008-04-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Federalism
  • National Policies
  • Federal Laws and Legal Documents
CONT

Given that most Canadians say that the official bilingualism policy is important, the strategic focus should be placed not on promoting official bilingualism as a policy, but on raising the awareness of the importance of bilingualism at the individual level - that is to say the importance of being able to speak more than one language.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fédéralisme
  • Politiques nationales
  • Lois et documents juridiques fédéraux
CONT

Compte tenu du fait que la majorité des Canadiens indiquent qu'ils jugent importante la politique de bilinguisme officiel, l'orientation stratégique ne devrait pas chercher à promouvoir le bilinguisme officiel comme politique, mais plutôt à sensibiliser tous et chacun à l'importance du bilinguisme au niveau individuel - c'est-à-dire l'importance d'être capable de parler plus d'une langue.
