First, in accordance with the framework for analysis suggested Normand and by Harrisson and Klein, we present the factors that contributed to the creation of the Coalition, in particular, the debate on FLS in Ontario during the 1990s and the enshrinement of language rights. [...] With the formalization of the status of the FLS coordinators and their introduction in various ministries, including ministries associated with the Justice Sector such as the Ministry of the Attorney General, these new intermediaries between the Francophone community and the Ontario government were to be attentive to the needs of Francophones. [...] The four meetings between the FLS Coordinator and such groups as the AJEFO, the AFMO, and the AOcVF resulted in the drafting of a document for a Strategic Plan for the Justice Sector in Ontario. [...] During the meeting, the AJEFO, the AFMO, and the AOcVF, together with the FAFO and the FESFO, founded the Coalition. [...] The outcome of the Montfort Hospital case and the courts’ recognition of the importance for the Francophone community of governing its own institutions had a strong impact on the members of the Coalition.
