Roadmap for Canada's Official Languages 2013-2018: Education, Immigration, Communities

Listening to Canadians

The Roadmap for Canada's Official Languages 2013–2018: Education, Immigration, Communities was developed following extensive cross-Canada consultations—one of the largest consultations ever held on official languages. These extensive consultations build on the ongoing dialogue with provincial and territorial governments and with the Commissioner of Official Languages. A list of organizations who participated in consultations is in Annex B.

While consultation participants expressed a wide range of opinions, they identified many of the same priorities: education, immigration, health, arts and culture, and economic development.

They also stressed the importance of involving young people and forming effective partnerships to achieve the goals of the Roadmap. In short, Canadians are looking to the Government to promote our two official languages as a fundamental part of Canadian identity—and they expect it to be done in a responsible, accountable manner that includes good reporting mechanisms.

Pillars for action

The first Roadmap was based on two pillars: the participation of all Canadians in linguistic duality and support for official language minority communities.

This new Roadmap will focus on the social and economic benefits of our two official languages for Canadians. It is built around three new pillars that were identified in consultations as priority areas for action:

• Education
• Immigration
• Communities

Zeroing in on these specific areas will enable the Government of Canada, provinces and territories and stakeholders to capitalize on the results they have achieved so far and to cooperate with one another in making real progress in these three key areas.

“Bilingualism is a unifying force. The more interaction there is between our minority and majority communities in Quebec and Canada, the better we will understand each other.”

Dan Lamoureux, President,
Quebec Community Groups Network

The new and renewed Roadmap initiatives have been reviewed with a careful eye to make sure that initiatives focus strongly on direct services and concrete results to Canadians. The Government will continue to strive for greater efficiency in the use of taxpayers' money and more efficient program delivery.

With this Roadmap, the Government is committed to building on gains and consolidating efforts to carry on its work to streamline and harmonize the governance and oversight of official languages within the federal system to improve accountability and coordination.

Second-language learning for young Canadians

Canada's official languages are an asset to Canadians' employability. The majority of Canadians believe that all high school graduates should have a working knowledge of English and French. They also believe that being bilingual improves chances of finding a job. Across the country, bilingual employees are considered assets to their organizations.

For more than 40 years now, the Government of Canada has helped support provinces and territories' efforts to provide second-language learning in schools. As a result, today, over 2.4 million young Canadians across the country are learning their second official language—including over 341,000 in French immersion programs, which represents a 12 percent increase in the last several years.

“Anglophone parents really want their children to learn French perfectly for work.”

Diane Gérin-Lajoie, Professor,
Centre de recherche en éducation franco-ontarienne
L'Acadie Nouvelle, October 29, 2012

With the renewal of the Roadmap, Canadian Heritage will continue its long-standing collaboration with provincial and territorial governments to provide support for second-language learning. To keep young people interested in second-language learning and to improve their chances of success, Canadian Heritage will continue to support start-up projects, such as intensive English and French programs and the development of evaluation tools to measure students' language proficiency based on real-life situations rather than on exam grades. Canadian Heritage will provide funding to expand immersion opportunities, develop language course options for secondary school students and offer teaching training and development.

Interacting with people from another official language group enhances language learning. Consequently, the Government will maintain support for the official language monitor and bursary programs run by the Council of Ministers of Education (Canada).

The monitor program has provided about 300 young people a year with jobs assisting second-language classroom teachers. Monitors (whose first language is being taught as a second language in the school where they work) help students practise their spoken second-language skills and provide insight into the culture associated with the official language being taught.

“These projects give Anglophone students an opportunity to interact in French with their peers, teachers and officials in a setting outside of the classroom. Both the public speaking and this interaction reinforce the principle that French language is more than a subject in school, but a vehicle to communicate ideas to others.”

Hélène Pelletier, spokesperson,
Canadian Parents for French - New Brunswick

The summer bursary programs allow 8,000 students a year to travel to another region in Canada where their second official language is the language of the majority. Participants thus become familiar with the culture of the host region while improving their second-language skills.

The Government will help build on the success of these initiatives as a part of the Education pillar of its new Roadmap.

In addition, Canadian Heritage will continue to fund exchange programs through such organizations as the Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges in Canada. This will serve to provide more than 2,000 opportunities for Canadian young people to improve their second official language and experience the culture of another Canadian community every year over the next five years.

Supporting education for official languages minority communities

Canadian Heritage will continue its long-standing collaboration with provincial and territorial governments to provide support for minority-language education.

Particularly in official language minority communities, schools both provide education and serve as the focus of community life, imparting language skills as well as a sense of identity and culture. The Department will encourage partnerships between educational and community stakeholders to help young people achieve educational success and strengthen their sense of identity.

In order for official language minority communities to thrive, there must be a continuum of educational opportunities in the minority language, from pre-school to the post-secondary level. As part of its regular support, Canadian Heritage will continue to work with its provincial and territorial partners to support early childhood programs in schools to help transmit language skills.

At the primary and secondary school levels, we will encourage continued efforts in making educational resources available in the language of instruction, improving academic performance, providing professional development opportunities for teachers and welcoming immigrant parents and students.

We will also encourage alternative post-secondary programs and delivery methods, such as distance education and inter-institutional cooperation, in order to give young people a broader range of options for post-secondary education in their own language.

Professional development and post-secondary education in the health and legal professions

In Canada health is a provincial responsibility. Through the Roadmap, the Government will continue to support those working in the health and justice sectors to improve their second–official language skills in order to be able to respond adequately to their clients in the official language of their choice.

Health Canada will carry on work with post-secondary institutions to increase the supply of bilingual health professionals across Canada and to improve the second-language skills of health services professionals where they are needed most.

Justice Canada will continue to develop and offer training programs to help justice stakeholders better serve Canadians in their first official language. They will develop innovative training tools using Web-based technologies to allow participants to interact with one another and with the trainers.

Between 2008 and 2011, some 4,000 students enrolled in health related programs in francophone educational institutions outside of Quebec and more than 1,500 students graduated during the same three-year period. In Quebec, some 7,000 health professionals enrolled in language-specific training programs, and over 5,300 completed these during the same period.

Health Canada and Justice Canada will build on their work with partners to enable members of official language minority communities to train for a profession in the health and justice sectors in their own language, thus further increasing the availability of professional services in these sectors in minority communities.

Supporting the availability of a range of post-secondary programs and training in both official languages will provide English-speaking young people in Quebec and French-speaking young people outside Quebec with more possibilities to work in their own community, while increasing the number of specialized bilingual workers.

Providing tools to study, work and communicate more effectively in both official languages

The Language Portal of Canada gives access to TERMIUM Plus®, (Canada's premiere terminology database) and to a large number of language tools designed to help citizens, the private sector and non-governmental organizations study, work and communicate more effectively in Canada's two official languages. Internet users from Canada (and elsewhere in the world) can find thousands of world class resources developed in Canada, such as language exercises and tutorials to help them improve their English and French language skills.

The Language Portal of Canada will continue to be made available to the public free of charge and will be enhanced with social media capability. The Portal will be increasingly promoted to those who can least afford to invest in such tools, such as young people and small and medium-sized businesses.

Positioning Canada as a world leader in language technologies

The National Research Council Canada has been successful in positioning Canada as a world leader in language technologies, specifically in the field of automatic translation, a system that allows computers to translate texts. The Council will carry on its work to advance and commercialize its technologies to both increase capacity in the Canadian language technology industry and increase opportunities for these technologies to be used in other industry sectors. This work will create business opportunities for Canadian firms, in Canada and globally.

Language training for newcomers – a key factor for integration

Every year, 250,000 immigrants come to Canada. The Government of Canada will promote the benefits of Canada's official languages and invest in official language training for newcomers. The Citizenship and Immigration Canada language training programs for economic immigrants will help newcomers who are beyond school age acquire the official language skills they need to live and find work in Canada.

Improving efforts to recruit French-speaking immigrants to minority communities

The summer 2012 consultations reiterated that attracting French-speaking immigrants and integrating them into minority communities outside Québec is a key factor to maintaining community vitality. To build on the progress already made, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will increase its support to encourage the recruitment and integration of French-speaking immigrants into minority communities outside Quebec. In addition, they will provide support for the innovative project set up in 2009 by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency to attract, recruit, integrate and retain French-speaking immigrants in the Acadian community of New Brunswick, particularly in rural areas.

“All of this convinces me that if we put in the effort, we can enlarge our community, and immigration is an integral part of this effort.”

Danielle Coombs,
Réseau de l'immigration francophone
de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador,
The Telegram, August 30, 2012

Citizenship and Immigration Canada intends to refocus its official languages activities to reflect the modernization of the immigration system. The Department will focus on concrete, measurable priorities to better coordinate the recruitment and integration of French-speaking immigrants settling outside Quebec, with emphasis on increasing the level of recruitment of French-speaking economic immigrants in Francophone minority communities.

Spending on overseas activities will be increased to allow for an expansion of Destination Canada to include more job fairs and targeted promotion and recruitment events with employers to reach a broader pool of potential French-speaking immigrants. Promotion and recruitment activities abroad will be focused on the needs of employers with operations in French-speaking minority communities. In addition, French-speaking immigration networks will be used to mobilize local stakeholders to address issues pertaining to immigration and integration in their communities.

170 new points of service for French-speaking immigrants have been created in cities across Canada since 2008.

By better coordinating its efforts with those of other community and (federal, provincial and territorial) government partners, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will build the capacity of communities to receive immigrants and strengthen the infrastructure needed for the reception, settlement and integration of French-speaking immigrants. In sum, the initiative will reaffirm the key role of immigration in enhancing the vitality of French-speaking  minority communities to mitigate labour shortages and the economic impact of aging populations.

Building bridges between linguistic communities through arts and culture

Arts and cultural initiatives strengthen community vitality and identity and also increase Canadians' knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Canada's various cultures. Moreover, arts, cultural and heritage activities make a significant contribution to the health of Canada's economy by leveraging investments and creating jobs.

Canada's heritage includes a long and rich history of cultural and artistic expression on the part of both English and French-speaking Canadians. The majority of Canadians appreciate our two official languages as a source of cultural enrichment. Taking part in arts, cultural and heritage activities gives Canadians experiences that build and strengthen their sense of what it means to be Canadian.

“I wanted to stress the importance of Musicaction's (Music Showcases) program in the career development of the Franco-Manitoban group Les Surveillantes. Through this program, Les Surveillantes had the opportunity to present their show before audiences that they could not otherwise have reached. This enabled the group to tour more remote areas and to make themselves known throughout Canada. The program reduced the distance effect and allowed the group to reach a wider audience.”

Jérémie Gosselin,
Les Surveillantes, Winnipeg

Our thriving cultural industries, such as music, film, arts and new media, have great potential to bring Canadians of different backgrounds together. Canadians have said that enjoying another group's artistic, cultural and heritage products provides a glimpse into the other's world, a way to learn about various Canadian cultures and a way to better understand and appreciate each other.

Having vibrant minority official language communities throughout the country that offer a variety of arts and cultural activities also benefits second language students by allowing them to experience their second official language in a real-life context. Participating in cultural events and attending films and performing arts productions significantly enhances students' ability and motivation to learn a second language. The new Roadmap will build on this long cultural tradition.

In the past five years, the National Translation Program for Book Publishing supported the translation of close to 200 books by Canadian authors. The program evaluation showed that this initiative provides significant support for the promotion of linguistic duality.

Through the National Translation Program for Book Publishing, more Canadian publishers will be able to translate more books by Canadian authors from one official language to the other. New collaborations will be created between Anglophone and Francophone publishers in Canada. As a result of this program, books will provide Canadians better access to the cultural richness that comes with our two languages.

In 2011-2012, 230 artists from minority communities performed in 687 music showcases presented during regional, national and international events, in addition to taking part in various tours.

Continued support for the Music Showcases Program for Artists from official language minority communities will build on the success of the program and its popularity to fund more music showcases and promote marketing activities on various platforms, particularly digital platforms. The main goal of the showcases is to make more music by artists from official language minority communities available to broader audiences, including the other official language group and internationally.

The Government's commitment to official language minority communities' arts and cultural activities will be strengthened by two new initiatives. The first is the revised Community Cultural Action Fund. The Fund will give greater access to cultural, artistic and heritage activities in official language minority communities. The activities, created with the participation of the community's own members, will showcase the community's culture while contributing to a sense of belonging among community members. The Fund will now also encourage the communities to share their history and culture with the broader community and particularly with speakers of the other official language.

The Roadmap funded close to 200 projects across Canada, particularly in many rural communities and in a wide range of disciplines (theatre, song, music, arts, media arts, literature, heritage, etc.).

The second new initiative, the Market Access Strategy for official language minority community artists will complement existing cultural initiatives. Strengthened support for official language minority communities will make it easier for their artists to move between various regions of Canada and increase their distribution opportunities. The strategy will support the development of new markets for artists and arts organizations from official language minority communities. Additional outreach and promotional activities in a variety of artistic disciplines (film, literature, theatre, media arts, multi-arts, etc.) will increase access to French- and English-speaking minority communities' arts and culture, in all its rich and diverse expression, for Canadians across the country.

Supporting the economic development of communities

The Government of Canada recognizes the importance of strengthening official language minority communities' economic vitality and labour market participation through innovative community-based partnerships. Improving access to economic opportunities and enabling growth in business capacity in communities will provide for greater access to employment opportunities for English- and French-speaking minority communities.

More specifically, a renewed Enabling Fund for Official Language Minority Communities at Human Resources and Skills Development Canada will support community leadership and local capacity to identify issues hindering growth and to act on opportunities for development as they emerge. It will increase communities' access to programs, networks, services and innovative economic-development projects in key areas, such as youth retention, labour-market integration and job creation, employability skills development, development of promising sectors (such as tourism) and diversification of local economies, and support of entrepreneurs and promotion of entrepreneurship.

The Enabling Fund will depend on ongoing dialogue with communities to give a more informed approach and results in innovative national and community-based projects that respond to the needs of communities. The Fund will place a higher priority on distributing relevant information to make sure economic and human-resource development activities respond to local needs, on identifying targets and measuring progress, and on increasing the proportion of resources leveraged from the private sector.

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada's new Official Languages Minority Communities Literacy and Essential Skills Initiative is a refocused initiative building on partnerships developed with communities that responds to partners' requests to have a new approach that better reflects the current realities of communities' economic development. Its goal will be to help adults in both English- and French-speaking minority communities gain the essential skills they need to obtain and/or maintain employment.

Through their Economic Development Initiative, Industry Canada and the regional development agencies—Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario, Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, Western Economic Diversification Canada, Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, and Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency—will build on the success achieved to date.

Support from Roadmap has enabled RDÉE Ontario to develop La Bonne Affaire, an innovative model that supports the economic integration of francophone immigrants into small and medium-sized enterprises.

Partnerships will be established between Economic Development Initiative recipients, business partners and other community economic development stakeholders. The incremental growth of such partnerships will advance business capacity in the community and improve service delivery to citizens.

The Economic Development Initiative will also support projects that increase the capacity of small and medium-sized businesses to offer bilingual services. This competitive asset can open doors to new markets for bilingual entrepreneurs and businesses.

Canada Economic Development (CED) for Quebec Regions contributes to the Youth Employment Services - Montreal (YES) receiving over 1,500 clients a year and giving over 750 individual coaching sessions and more than 150 workshops annually

Strengthening communities

Canadian Heritage will continue to provide support to national, provincial and local organizations and networks. Efforts will be concentrated in sectors that are key to the vitality of communities, such as education, arts and culture (including heritage) and media.

Beginning in 2013–2014, Canadian Heritage will review its support for official language minority communities in consultation with community organizations. This review will seek to ensure that actions meet the needs of citizens and offer strong potential for long-term impact on the vitality of communities. It will also strengthen community networks to make them more effective.

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada's new Social Partnership Initiative in Official Language Minority Communities will build on lessons learned from the Community Innovation Pilot Project. It will expand its target clientele beyond early childhood to include youth and family issues of both English- and French-speaking minority communities. The Initiative will also encourage official language minority communities to find new revenue sources to develop community-based activities that address the social and economic issues that affect them.

Enhancing access to services in both official languages

The Government of Canada will continue to be a model in favouring the use of our country's two official languages. It will offer citizens direct access to a comprehensive range of information and federal government services through its service windows, telephone lines and Internet portals in both official languages. Canadians are free to interact with the Government of Canada in the official language of their choice. In addition, by partnering with other levels of government and community players, the Government will carry on supporting services in many other areas important to all Canadians.

The Consortium national de formation en santé, funded by Health Canada, aims to increase the presence and support of French-speaking healthcare professionals and researchers in order to improve the quality of healthcare service offerings that are adapted to the needs of French-speaking minority communities.

Health

Health Canada will carry on its work to strengthen the capacity of the 35 local health networks and 2 coordinating organizations (Société Santé en français and the Community Health and Social Services Network) that span the country. This will enable the health networks to continue operating as community-based entities firmly rooted in place. They understand and respond to community needs and work to effect change in the health care system to improve access to health services at the local level.

As described in the Education section, Health Canada will continue to work with post-secondary institutions to increase the supply of bilingual health professionals across Canada.

The health field has seen “steady progress in recent years and the long term, as a result of Roadmap funding.... It's important for health that the Roadmap be renewed, because although health is a provincial responsibility, linguistic duality is a federal responsibility.”

Annie Bédard, Executive Director,
Conseil communauté en santé du Manitoba,
La Liberté (website), July 4, 2012

Furthermore, Health Canada will carry on supporting projects at the community level to respond to immediate community health needs with a focus on integrating and retaining bilingual health professionals. Health Services Access and Retention Projects will encourage bilingual health professionals to practise in communities of greatest need; engage health service providers in providing services in both official languages at such points of service as pharmacies, doctor's offices, and clinics; and place emphasis on addressing community-specific health needs (for example, improving seniors' option to communicate in the official language of their choice, eliminating language as a barrier for mental health patients, including all patients' preferred official language on health records).

The health component of the 2008-2013 Roadmap supported 35 local health networks and 2 coordinating organizations (Société Santé en français and the Community Health and Social Services Network) that span the country.

Justice

To ensure that Canadians can rely on accurate, reliable and easy ways to find legal information in the official language of their choice, Justice Canada will call upon an extensive network of partners to develop the concept of justice information hubs. To avoid unnecessary duplication of structures and to build bridges between organizations serving both official language communities, partnerships between minority community associations and organizations already serving the majority will be encouraged. These hubs will serve as a steppingstone for Canadians to become more knowledgeable about their legal rights and obligations and better equipped to deal with everyday legal issues.

Justice Canada will continue to help provincial and territorial governments bridge gaps in bilingual service delivery, particularly when they undertake proceedings on behalf of the federal government pursuant to the Contraventions Act.

The portal CliquezJustice.ca offers simplified legal information in plain language to the French-speaking canadians minority communities of Canada.

Provincial and territorial services in the language of the minority

Provinces and territories provide services important to citizens' wellbeing. While New Brunswick is the only officially bilingual province, more and more provinces and territories guarantee services in both official languages. Canadian Heritage will carry on its longstanding cooperation with provinces and territories to enable Canadians living in an official language minority community to access key government services in their language.

“The Roadmap also supports the provincial government and makes possible different French-language provincial services, including the Office of French Services and French immersion programs in English schools, as well as the use of French in provincial school programs.”

Gaël Corbineau, Executive Director,
Fédération des francophones de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador
The Telegram, July 19, 2012

Streamlined governance

Official language initiatives mobilize the efforts of a large number of federal institutions. In doing so, any duplication of efforts must be eliminated and efficiencies gained. The Government of Canada will intensify its efforts to streamline and harmonize the governance infrastructure for official language activities within the federal system.

Rigorous performance measurement

With the new Roadmap, federal institutions have committed to focussing on efficiency in the use of public funds and program delivery. The performance measurement tools they will need to deliver clear and integrated reports on progress and tangible results will be established at the outset. This will permit rigorous monitoring of all initiatives launched under the new Roadmap to confirm that they emphasize direct servicesto Canadians and concrete results.

The Government of Canada will work to improve the coordination and management of all Roadmap activities to strengthen its official languages capacity and ultimately allow Canadians to enjoy the benefits of linguistic duality, live and work in communities that reflect Canadian values with respect to the use of English and French, and have access to government services in the official language of their choice.
