Bilingual Today, United Tomorrow

He examines how the dynamics of Canadian federalism shaped the implementation and development of language policy in six Canadian provinces, and shows how advocates of these programs - politicians, bureaucrats, parents, lobbyists and teachers - worked to ensure their success. These dynamic programs not only guaranteed minority language education rights but dramatically increased access to French second language instruction, particularly through the innovative new sector of French immersion.
