About this book

Bilingualism presents the case of Napoléon Antoine Belcourt (1860-1932), the French-Canadian senator and champion of French-language rights in Ontario during the bitter struggle over Regulation 17, which restricted French in the province's schools. Belcourt led the Association canadienne-française d'éducation d'Ontario in the fight, and this address argues for the place of both languages in Canadian life. It is a primary document of Canada's language conflicts.
