In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

Camille Laurin (May 6, 1922 - March 11, 1999) was a psychiatrist and Parti Québécois (PQ) politician in the Province of Quebec, Canada.
Born in Charlemagne, Quebec, Laurin obtained a degree in psychiatry from the Université de Montréal where he came under the influence of the Roman Catholic priest, Lionel Groulx.

 The legacy of Camille Laurin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
On March 11, Camille Laurin, long-time Parti Québécois leader, died of cancer at the age of 76.
Laurin made himself one of the most hated politicians in English Canada, and one of the most respected in Quebec.
Laurin of course, used his defence of the French language to build a pro-business party, the Parti Québécois, which has proven as vicious as the Liberals in its defence of business rights.

Laurin will forever be a symbol of a time when language laws set neighbour against neighbour and sent hundreds of thousands of people streaming down the 401 into exile.
Laurin, perhaps more than any other Péquiste of his era, incarnated what many saw as a nasty, vindicative streak running through the PQ government of the day and its policies towards the linguistic minority.
After all, Dr. Laurin, a psychiatrist, once described anglophones as "a feared and dreaded paternal substitute" for French-speakers, and as a group that needed to be brought down to size.

Depending on how one looks at it, the passing of "Doc" Laurin on the eve of La Francofête puts a damper on events or provides a timely opportunity to pay tribute to his efforts.
The 20 students at Cegep Marie-Victorin are the vanguard of waves of students to come, the ones now in the primary and secondary school systems in the far-flung communities of what southerners call Nouveau Quebec.
This is a far cry from the era that led to the arrival in power of Dr. Laurin and the PQ.

We are glad to see The Gazette readily acknowledges that Camille Laurin’s vision of a Quebec in which anglophone and allophone Quebecers are fully at ease in French and the French-speaking majority is far more confident and secure has become a reality.
Though the road may have been bumpy for some, we appear to agree that the destination is very satisfactory.
Therefore if works in French, be they literary, scientific, historical or other, are more accessible to all of us today, we can thank Camille Laurin for successfully taking us over that bumpy road 25 years ago.

There has been so much passion and polarization on both sides of the debate that a balanced view can be elusive.
Laurin's legacy will be strengthened when Quebec demonstrates the confidence to allow them more room to live in their own languages, within the French-speaking world of Quebec.

The father of Quebec’s Charter of the French Language, the late Camille Laurin, summed up the nationalist view of English-speaking Quebecers: “They are a dominant minority.”
Laurin, a psychiatrist and Minister of Cultural Development in the PQ Government, was piloting Bill 101 through the National Assembly amidst much sturm und drang.
His comment reflected a widely held view that Anglo-Quebecers were resolutely unilingual, antipathetic to French-speaking Quebec and had a firm grasp on all the private-sector levers of power.

Marcel Masse, head of the Montreal sovereignty commission, one of 18 that held public hearings, told reporters he did not think residents were ready to approve the present question, which asks voters to accept or reject a long draft law outlining the principles of separation.
Camille Laurin, a Parti Quebecois member, said what he heard during the hearings was that the party should devise another question.
He can change the question in an effort to win ``soft nationalists'' -- those who prefer to retain some links with Ottawa, but it still has to be about separation.

There was a time when Quebec separatists attracted practically all the province's brilliant minds, compelling communicators and inspiring artists to the cause.
The romance of revolution at a time when oppression and exclusion for French-speaking Quebecers was a humiliating reality, stirred the souls of leaders like Rene Levesque, Gerard Godin, Camille Laurin, Jacques Parizeau and Claude Morin.
It was to address the monopolization of the independence movement by leading intellectuals and communicators that then-Prime Minister Lester Pearson, in an act of boldness, courage and fear, reached out in 1965 to recruit three prominent federalist Quebecers.

 Handing Down of Culture | Chapter 13 | Michel de la Durantaye | page 3
In their introduction to the White Paper on cultural policy for Québec, the authors mention that “every culture is characterized by diversity: diversity of classes, generations, minorities, regions.” They conclude their introduction by saying that henceforth States will try to use filters, by means of agreements, to confront the international flow of mass culture.
The authors of the Cultural Development Policy for Québec mention also that the first important action taken, in 1977, by the Ministry of Cultural Development, under Camille Laurin, was a White Paper on language policy, which became the famous Charter of the French Language or Bill 101.
This approach, according to its 1978 authors, is more than traditional in Québec, it is central to its history.
