 | | 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. |
