By LALDE BEiHCIIAMP QUEBEC CI Four days after Ontario At torney General Roy McMurty went to Montreal to explain to Quebec public opinion why Toronto could not give French trial to Quebec businessman called before Ontario courts the Quebec government made public its new version of the bill for the Charter of the French Language in Quebec There is no other cori nection between the two events other than political one But this coincrdcnce in timing greatly eased the task of Cultural Development Minister Camille Laurin who announced Tuesday following three weeks of study in national assembly committee some to changes in his original bill none of which changed the fun damental principles which guided the original writing of the proposed chart er Laurin ignored the prin cipal demand of English speaking groups in the area of the language of education by continuing to limit access to the English public school system to those children whose parents already are established in Quebec at the time the charter is passed But he could state that under the proposed charter an lInglishspeaking person has the right to have his trial con ducted in English in Quebec nly French versions of texts of laws regulations and judgments will have the for cc of iaw but the use of English is permitted OFFICIAL lNILINfilALISM In word although it is difficult to sum up 219 legal clauses in one single picture it can be said that what the proposed harter of the French Language does is make institutions Fren ch government munici pahties public and para public groups businesses professional corporations ctc while allowing bilingualism or the use of English on an individual level Thus deputy minister and mayor must writeeach other in French although they may both be llnglish but may talk to each other in English although they may both be Frenchrspcaking All citizens may communicate with governmmit organ izations in English and receive reply in English Municipalities which are mostly

By editor of Le Soleil Quebec language bill analysis from inside those they deal with in both languages The new version of the charter will not satisfy those who insist on official biligualism nor those who oppose putting ceiling on the expansion of the English language school sector Neither will it prevent busi nesses who fear francization from leaving Quebec However it likely will alleviate most of the anxieties expressed in the 260 briefs presented to the gov ernment all of which were closely examined even though only about 60 were discussed in public com mittechearings Here very briefly is what the situation of French and English will be in Quebec if the charter is adopted in its current form which is very likely even though Rene Levesques government may have in reserve lastminute strategic concession con cerning admission of Cana dians from other provinces to the English school sector of course to begin with the only official language will be French which already has been the case since the passage of Bill 22 in 1974 LANGLAGEDF EDUCATION the most controversial point that of language of education the situation will be as follows All Frenchspeaking per sons and all future im migrants to Quebec whatever their language or wherever they come from will have to enrol in French schools The English sector will thus be limited to children already enrolled in the English systems to their younger brothers and sisters and in future to those children having at least one parent who received primary education in an English school in Quebec or one parent who was living in Quebec at the time the char ter was passed and who received his elementary education in English yw he re Regarding the language of education there is one major point to remember the restrictions on English exist only for primary and secon dary schools financed by the government Absolute freedom of choice exists at the junior college and univer sit levels Fears among some Englishspeaking people of seeing English culture disap rwam1 CANADAS LARGEST AND DESTKNOWN RIOOID STORE CLM muss BAND Gold Plated Couldnt Get it BEE GEES THEIR NEW RELEASE HERE AT LAST LIVE TWO

whether it be the press radio television or film LANGUAGE IILSINESS At the level of the language commerce and of work business the charter falls iii to administrative and bureaucratic heaviness This is unfortunately inevitable since the goal of the charter is to change reality in this area The new version of the charter is nonetheless much more acceptable than the original version The govern ment took into account the most general criticism of the business world and softened several harsher aspects of the original text Briefly under the charter all companies will be obligated to deal with their personnel and clientele in French But this does not for bid the use of English on an individual basis The charter also provides numerous exceptions to the obligatory use of French particularly for head offices small businesses research centres and ethnic cultural political ideological and religious groups not to men tion the special treatment granted to the ree and Inuit Finally and this also re sponds to general criticisms the language charter in con trast to the original bill will be under the jurisdiction of the Human Rights Charter which will take precedence over the language bill The government of Premier Rene Levesque has thus built its nest in definitive fashion Having teamed from the electoral misadventures of the gov ernments of JeanJacques Bertrand in 15t7o and Robert Bourassa in 1976 the Pequist es in power in Quebec City know that on the issueof language legislation it is im7 possible to satisfy both majority of francophones and majority of anglophones They decided to rely on the French speaking majority even if it means totally alienating the Englishspeaking corn munity For there is no doubt that the great majority of Frenchspeaking Quebecers support

says tario is concerned the extra benefits paid to women will mean money will have to be paid out of the plan This would mean Ontario would have to start paying in terest on money it borrows from the

ben efits are paid is loaned to the province at rates below those on the open lending market iiiiti women to drop out of the work force for up to seven years to raise child without final Pl benefits
