 La raison et l'équilibre
Ryan prit alors conscience du rapport inégal et parfois injuste qui unissait Canadiens français et anglais.
Ryan en viendrait à la conviction que le Québec était plutôt une « société » ou une « nation » (termes à peu près interchangeables dans son vocabulaire, nous explique Marcil) qui possédait une culture publique commune et qui se devait d’intégrer tous les individus en faisant partie.
Ryan n’en démordrait pas : la décentralisation et l’obtention d’un statut particulier représentaient les meilleurs moyens pour le Québec d’assurer son développement socioculturel, politique et économique dans le respect des droits individuels que toute société démocratique et libérale se devait de protéger et de promouvoir.

From the Laurendeau-Dunton Commission to Quebec's controversial Bill 101, Claude Ryan's attitude on linguistic issues shows that it was possible, up to a point, for him to reconcile liberal and nationalist principles.
Though Ryan was able to acknowledge that certain individual rights should be subordinated to collective rights, this could only occur in exceptional and isolated cases.
In Quebec's case, the fact that most allophone immigrants traditionally opted for English-language education constituted what he believed to be an exceptional situation because it threatened the cultural and linguistic survival of the Province's French-speaking majority.
