CANADA'S IMMIGRATION POLICY AND OUR
OFFICIAL LANGUAGES. A study published by the Commissioner of Official
Languages Dr. Dyane Adam, concludes that the Government of Canada's
immigration and integration policies do not go far enough in
contributing to the vitality of Canada's two official language groups.
The study, entitled "Immigration and the Vitality of Canada's Official
Language Communities: Policy Demography and Identity", was prepared
for the Office of the Commissioner by Dr. Jack Jedwab of the McGill
Institute for the Study of Canada. It is the first study of its kind
to analyze this important issue in depth. The study and this press
release are available on our web site at: http://www.ocol-clo.gc.ca
