Bilingual today, united tomorrow : official languages in education and Canadian federalism / Matthew Hayday.
"In an appraisal of official bilingualism, Matthew Hayday demonstrates that the language programs and policies initiated by the Trudeau government supported French-Canadian and Acadian minority communities. He argues that these policies enabled the development of minority language education systems and laid the foundations for the language rights contained in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms."--BOOK JACKET.
