The International Observatory on Language Rights

The International Observatory on Language Rights aims, on the one hand, to promote the vitality of minority language communities in Canada by urging these communities to take part in the development of their rights and, on the other hand, to acquaint other countries with the Canadian experience by sharing with them how Canada has dealt with its official languages problems. Conversely, the Observatory hopes to help Canadians gain better insight into the linguistic situation in other countries, thereby providing an opportunity to learn from their experience, and offering different problem-solving avenues.
Tout d’abord merci pour cette belle invitation au colloque sur les droits linguistiques en l’honneur de notre cher maître Michel Doucet.

I – LE COMMISSARIAT AUX SERVICES EN FRANÇAIS

Que sont les droits linguistiques ? Selon moi, il s’agit simplement du fait de pouvoir vivre en français, c’est-à-dire de pouvoir demander un service en français sans que cela crée un malaise ou un inconfort ou encore de pouvoir demander un service sans qu’on se pose la question : vais-je demander mon service en français, puisque je suis pressé et que le service en anglais va aller beaucoup plus rapidement.
