Articles - Bilingualism in Canada Quebec (A.G.) that the commercial sign law provisions of the Quebec Charter of the French Language, banning the use of the English language on outdoor signs, were unconstitutional. In 1989, the Quebec national assembly invoked the Notwithstanding clause of the Canadian constitution to set aside enforcement of the court ruling for five years.

Intellectuals for the Sovereignty of Quebec Quebecers must be careful not to commit the same errors in dealing with their minorities that Canada has; they must protect the rights of the English-speaking national minority as well as those of the Native nations. Between 1980 and 1995, Quebec was thus witness to the illegitimate repatriation of the Constitution, the failure of the Meech Lake Accord, the Bélanger-Campeau Commission and the failure of the Charlottetown Accord. Quebec's precarious language situation is worsened by the fact that Canada fails to recognize either the national character of the French language (understood as the common language of all Quebec citizens) or the national character of Quebec's www.rocler.qc.ca /turp/eng/Intellectuals/Intel.htm   (7689 words)
