EspañolOFFICIAL LANGUAGES ACT (CANADA)
The 'Official Languages Act' of 1969 is an Act of Parliament that recognizes English and French as the official languages of Canada.
The 1988 act is a new and improved version of the Official Languages Act of 1969, an outgrowth of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism.
The primary impact of the 1969 act was in providing federal services in both languages, where population size warranted it. Its principles were later incorporated into the Constitution of Canada, in section 16 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The act recognized both French and English languages.
