520 _a"Bilingualism: Address delivered before the Quebec Canadian Club by N. A. Belcourt" is a political address delivered in the early 20th century, specifically in 1916. This document is not a book in the traditional sense but rather a significant speech addressing the critical issues surrounding bilingual education in Ontario, particularly focusing on the implications of Regulation No. 17. The likely topic of the address is the challenges faced by French-speaking Canadians in Ontario regarding their rights to education in their native language. In this address, N. A. Belcourt passionately discusses the impact of Regulation No. 17, which he argues serves to systematically diminish the use of the French language in Ontario's schools. He outlines how this regulation limits French instruction, only allowing its use when deemed necessary by the Chief Inspector and restricting its teaching in newly established schools. Belcourt shares various examples, including litigation cases and reports by inspectors, to illustrate the regulation's adverse effects on the French-speaking community. He appeals not only to the French-Canadian population but calls upon the English-speaking community in Quebec to support the fight for educational rights, emphasizing the broader implications on national unity and cultural heritage. Ultimately, the address is a plea for justice and understanding towards the French-Canadian identity amidst growing tensions regarding language and education.
