Abstract

The articles presented in this issue stem from the symposium entitled “50 Years of Implementing the Official Languages Act: Review and Prospects”, which took place during the 87th congress of the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas) in 2019. This symposium was an occasion to take stock of the evolution of the official languages question within its Canadian political context. The issue features articles by key stakeholders on the official languages scene, such as the Commissioner of Official Languages, Raymond Théberge; former Supreme Court of Canada Justice, Michel Bastarache; lawyer Marion Sandilands; and the organizations that speak for OLMCs, namely the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadiennes du Canada and the Quebec Community Groups Network.
