The role of the courts in the recognition of language rights : Rôle des tribunaux dans la reconnaissance des droits linguistiques

11 Oct 2012

The federal government, meanwhile, through the minister of Justice, is required to examine every bill tabled in the House of Commons “in order to ascertain whether any of the provisions thereof are inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of 2 the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” Opinion is divided when it comes to analyzing the evolution of the role of the courts. [...] Section 133 of this Act allowed for the use of English and French in parliamentary debates and court proceedings, and in the printing and publications of laws by the Parliament of Canada and the Legislature of Quebec. [...] The current Act takes into account the new constitutional order imposed by the Charter and adds provisions pertaining to language of work in federal institutions, the vitality and development of the official language minority communities, and the advancement of English and French in Canadian society. [...] Protects the use of English and French during parliamentary debates, before the courts and in the printing and publication Section 133 of the laws adopted by the Parliament of Canada and the Quebec legislature. [...] The remedy application made by the FCFA before the Federal Court of Canada in October 2006 was the first opportunity for the courts to determine the scope of the newly reinforced Part VII.
