Bilingual Today, United Tomorrow

Abstract

Forty years after the creation of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, Bilingual Today, United Tomorrow examines the responses of Canada's federal and provincial governments to the Commission's recommendations on education. In contrast to the many critics of official bilingualism, Matthew Hayday argues that the educational programs funded by the government's Official Languages in Education Program, launched in 1970, had a significant impact on how Canadians view their national identity, encouraging increasing acceptance of official bilingualism and linguistic duality.
