van der Linden Founder and Executive Director Vox Pop Labs Inc. In the past 10 years, the Department of Canadian
Heritage has had the opportunity to survey the Canadian population on different
occasions (TNS-2012, Vox Pop Labs 2018) on topics related to their appreciation
of Canada’s two official languages. These surveys targeted the general Canadian
population with an effort to better understand their views and attitudes
towards official languages. The current survey targets and oversamples minority-language
Canadians 18 years of age and over. For the purpose of this study, minority
status was established through the combination of province of residence and the
respondent’s main official language.[1]
To that end, from June 27 to July 16, 2019 Vox Pop
Labs conducted a web survey among 2000 Canadians. The median duration of the
questionnaire was 15 minutes. This survey is constituted of closed- ended questions
and discusses issues and themes such as the vitality of official-language
minority communities, linguistic duality and second-language learning and
official languages policy issues. The information collected with this survey will allow
the Official-Languages Branch to fulfill the requirements associated with the
deliverology approach of the Treasury Board Secretariat in the matter of
program evaluation and performance results framework. The data will therefore
allow Canadian Heritage to update a series of program indicators. The key findings to emerge from the analysis are as
follows: Francophones living outside Quebec and English-speaking
Quebecers alike feel a strong sense of belonging toward their respective
language communities; however, their lived experiences as a linguistic minority
differ starkly. Compared to English-speaking Quebecers, Francophones living
outside Quebec tend to feel more supported by their network of community
leaders and non-government organizations, and are more likely to believe that
the state of their linguistic community has improved in the last two decades.
Despite all of this, English-speaking Quebecers still experience less obstacles
when conducting their daily activities in their official language. On majority-minority relations, English-speaking
Quebecers are more likely than Francophones living outside Quebec to feel that
their interests and activities are not being prioritized by their language majority counterparts. In particular, English-speaking
Quebecers are more likely to believe that the language majorities in their
regions do not recognize their community’s societal contributions. Almost half
of Francophones living outside Quebec and half of English-speaking Quebecers
have also not seen any changes in the language majority's attitude towards them.
There are nevertheless higher proportions of people among both groups who say
that the majority’s attitude towards them has become more positive than those
who say it has become more negative, in the last five years. With regard to their perspectives on the future, Francophones
living outside Quebec tend to be more optimistic than English-speaking
Quebecers. Francophones living outside Quebec, for example, have a more
positive outlook on the future use and status of their official language. This
is fuelled in part by their stronger sense of obligation towards their
community, as well as their belief that the French language is threatened in
Canada and should therefore be protected. On the topic of government support and representation,
Francophones living outside Quebec and English-speaking Quebecers alike view
their access to federal services in a favourable light, but view current levels
of federal support for community-based groups that serve their interests as
being less than they should be. When prompted about the federal government’s
efforts to represent their interests, the two groups diverge; a plurality of Francophones
living outside Quebec rate these efforts as good, while a plurality of English-speaking
Quebecers rate them as not good. Compared to how they view their interactions
with the federal government, both groups are decidedly less satisfied with
their level of representation, and access to services in their official
languages, at the provincial and municipal levels. It should be noted that this
dissatisfaction is especially felt by English-speaking Quebecers. On services more generally, both minorities are
satisfied with the availability of services that are offered in their official
languages in their regions; however, their levels of satisfaction may differ
depending on the particular type of service, their province of residence or
their region across Quebec. Among the myriad types of services that are offered
in their official language, Francophones living outside Quebec are more likely
to be satisfied with their regions’ primary and secondary education, daycare
services, and media and communications, while English-speaking Quebecers tend
to be more satisfied with their regions’ post-secondary education, media and
cultural offerings. Despite being satisfied with the French-language primary
and secondary education in their regions, Francophones living outside Quebec still
believe that their overall access to primary and secondary education in their
official language could be improved upon. They also prioritize other areas,
such as higher education and daycare services offered in their official
language. English-speaking Quebecers, meanwhile, prioritize improved access to
English-language health services, legal services, and primary and secondary
education. Supplier
