BackCommissioner of Official Languages of Canada Raymond Théberge released his report entitled A shared future: A closer look at our official language minority communities on 9 October 2024.
The report provides an overview of the current realities of official language minority communities, which are often on the front lines of official language challenges across Canada.
In his report, the Commissioner examines many of the issues facing these communities, including the main elements in the learning continuum, intergovernmental issues, certain aspects that are essential to the communities’ vitality, and the importance of reliable data in order to obtain an accurate assessment of their condition. The report also highlights the diverse situations of Canada’s French-speaking communities and the unique position of Quebec’s English-speaking communities.
In addition, the report includes courses of action intended for individuals who have the power to effect change on a political, institutional or social level.
