Linguistic duality during the 150th anniversary celebrations of Canadian Confederation in 2017 : Report of the Standing Committee on Official Languages

In fall 2012, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages (hereafter the Committee) initiated a study of linguistic duality during the 150th anniversary celebrations of Canadian Confederation in 2017. The Committee members were specifically interested in determining what the Government of Canada can do to ensure that linguistic duality is an integral part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of Confederation. This report highlights the common themes that came out of all the submissions received and evidence heard during the Committee's public hearings.
