Language Rights

From: The Charter of Rights and Freedoms

$3.70

Chapter 7 reviews the Charter’s effect on the status of the official languages of Canada and minority-language education rights. The chapter focuses on Supreme Court decisions that interpret language rights inside and outside of the Charter. These cases deal with language rights in Quebec, New Brunswick, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia, and have had an important impact on minority-language communities across Canada.
