Canadian language policy

Canadian language policy primarily aims to promote bilingualism in English and French, recognizing both as official languages. The Official Languages Act ensures that federal institutions provide services in both languages, reflecting Canada's history and cultural diversity. Provinces also support language preservation, especially for Indigenous languages. The policy encourages respect for linguistic rights and aims to foster inclusive communication across the country. This commitment to bilingualism and multilingualism aims to strengthen national unity, promote cultural heritage, and ensure equal access to government services for all Canadians, regardless of their language background.
