OTTAWA — A bill that aims to enshrine a francophone immigration program into law is heading to the Senate after clearing the House of Commons.
"This is really a historic day. It's a really important day for this legislation and an important day for our country," said Official Languages Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor following the vote in the House. "Through this modernization we're talking about putting in place an immigration policy with indicators and targets to make sure that we reverse that decline," Petitpas Taylor said.
Petitpas Taylor has said it will also apply equally to all official-language minority communities in Canada, whether they are French-speaking people living in Manitoba, or English-speaking Quebecers. That provincial law was passed using the notwithstanding clause, which allowed the government to temporarily override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
