  Children of Bill 101 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The children of Bill 101 (les enfants de la loi 101) is the name given to the generation of children whose parents immigrated to Quebec, Canada after the adoption of the 1977 Charter of the French Language (aka Bill 101).
One of the Charter's articles stipulates that all children under 16 must receive their primary and secondary education in French schools, unless one of the parent's child has received most of his/her education in English, in Canada.
Mostly because of this, the children of Bill 101, numbering roughly 400 000 individuals as of December 2003, have adopted French as their primary language of communication in a much greater proportion than the previous generations of immigrants, who had adopted English.

 Bill 101
Bill 101, Charte de la langue française (1977), marked the culmination of a debate that had produced BILL 63 (1969) and BILL 22 (1974).
The bill was withdrawn because of pressure from the Liberal opposition and reappeared as Bill 101.
As expected, such challenges to Bill 101 were not met with indifference by the Parti Québécois.

 Charter of the French Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Charter of the French Language (also known as Bill 101 and Loi 101) is a framework law in the province of Quebec, Canada, defining the linguistic rights of all Quebecers and making French, the language of the majority, the sole official language of Quebec.
The Liberal government of Robert Bourassa invoked the notwithstanding clause of the Constitution to temporarily overrule the Supreme court ruling; the Charter was subsequently amended by the Liberals in 1993 with Bill 86 in accordance with the ruling.
The Equality Party has lodged a complaint with the United Nations, on the behalf of a child from English-speaking Trinidad who was forced to enrol in a French school, stating that discrimination on the basis of language violates international agreements and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Martin 2004).

Bill 101 had been enacted prior to the enactment of the Charter and the criteria set out in section 73 of Bill 101 in a restrictive sense were repeated in section 23 of the Charter as rights.
However, the Court also held that even if Bill 101 had been enacted after the Charter it would have had the effect of amending section 23 of the Charter, which was not contemplated by section 1 of the Charter and which only could have been done by an amendment to the Constitution.
Section 73 of Bill 101 was precise and in essence redefined the categories of persons entitled to receive instruction in the language of the anglophone minority.

The children of Bill 101 (les enfants de la loi 101) is the name given to the children of immigrants who have come to Quebec, Canada since the adoption of the Charter of the French Language (aka Bill 101) in 1977.
The Charter stipulates that children under 16 must attend French language public schools unless one parent has received most of their education in English in Quebec (or in Canada if they are canadian citizens).

 BlogsCanada: E-Group - Supreme Court to rule on Bill 101
Bill 101 is intended to protect the use of French in Quebec, in particular by restricting English-language education in public schools to children of Canadian anglophones.
Bill 101, which included provisions requiring immigrants to send their children to French-language schools and requiring major businesses (with more than 50 employees) to allow their employees to work in French, as well as the controversial prohibition of English on commercial signs, was passed in 1977.
According to Richards, Bill 101 was a major reason for the defeat of the separatists in the 1980 referendum: Quebec francophones felt that Bill 101 provided sufficient protection for the French language.

For instance, the children of immigrant families were no longer eligible to receive an education in English, and adults in all facets of the workforce were required to either learn French immediately or lose their jobs.
Bill 101 went further than either of the two prior pieces of enacted legislation in areas of schooling commerce and public discourse, and its effects were swift and tumultuous.

Immigrants tended to adopt English rather than French and to send their children to English schools, and some demographers predicted that Montreal would again become a mainly English-speaking city, as it briefly had been in the mid-nineteenth century.
Soon afterwards the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that ‘Bill 101’ must be brought into conformity with section 23(1)(b) of the Charter, which guarantees Canadian citizens who received an English education in Canada the right to educate their children in English (see Quebec (A.G.) v.
Although it has been amended several times and is resented or ridiculed by many Quebec Anglophones, ‘Bill 101’ remains an important symbol of Quebec’s determination to maintain French as a viable language in a continent that speaks mainly English.

 Why we need Bill 101
In fact, prior to Bill 101, more than 80 per cent of immigrants to Quebec integrated into the anglophone minority of the province, seen as a stepping stone to an English-speaking continent.
This trend has been reversed in part, but even after the enactment of Bill 101, the socio-economic attraction exercised on immigrants by the anglophone minority in Quebec remains out of proportion with the community's demographic weight.
In fact, anglophone parents are alone in enjoying this right, since under Bill 101, free choice of school systems before the post-secondary level has been taken away from parents of the francophone majority in order to take it away from immigrants who share the rights of that majority.
