Separate statements by Rev. Clement Cormier, former presi- dent of the University of Monc- ton, and J. B. Rudnyckyj, head of the department of Slavic studies at the University of Manitoba, are printed at the back of the report. Father Cormier finds the commission's definition of offi- cial bilingualism too rigid. Mr. Rudnyckyj makes a case for constitutional recognition of re- gional languages, particularly German, Italian and Ukrainian, | DEFINE 'OFFICIAL' In arriving at its definition, the commission says: | "... we shall call 'official' jonly the most firm and unequi- vocal provisions concerning lan- guage--that is, provisions pro- |mulgated by political authority and confirmed by statute. "Thus, in our view, a lan- | guage will be official only to the jextent that if has received such legal protection. OTTAWA (CP)--The first re- Bilingualism' Definition Rigid "Official bilingualism--that is, the recognition of English and French as official lan- guages--evolves from the sum of rights expressly guaranteed to English and French by laws protecting their use." SUM TOTAL APPLIES In a footnote, to which Father Cormier takes particular excep- tion, the commission says its re- port applies the term officially bilingual to provinces only when the sum of language rights cor- responds to those in its recom- mended constitutional amend- ment. At present, only Quebec province passes that test. Father Cormier says the phrase ought to apply to any province accepting the language recommendations of the 'com- mission's first report. "Census figures will help in determining the extent of serv- ices to be offered in the twé lan- guages," he says. "But the 'offi- cial' quality of the minority's language will derive essentially from an act of recognition "by the political authority rather than from proportions or num- bers abstracted from the cen- sus."'
