The policy has succeeded in fostering equitable representation of both official languages groups in the federal public service and has improved capacities for the public service to serve the citizenry in its official language of choice. It is a puzzle however, that despite these advances, the Canadian federal public service continues to operate predominantly in English when both official languages on paper are equal languages of work. To explore this puzzle this book asks: why, despite the promise of the Official Languages Act (OLA) 1969 for choice in language of work and the OLA 1988 that made the choice a claimable right, is there inequitable access to French as a language of work in the federal public service? Framed through a historical institutionalist approach and layering, this project analyzes the implementation of the official languages program in the federal public service from 1967-2013. This book argues that the implementation of the official languages program could not challenge the federal public service's path dependency to operate predominantly in English. By analyzing the roles of actors and institutions that influenced the process, this dissertation finds that lack of structural change, inadequate managerial engagement and a false sense that official languages are engrained in the public service, can explain the persistence of English as the dominant language of work."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 505 2 $a Theoretical foundations -- Check your hat and your language at the door (1867-1967) -- The Official Languages Act, 1969 (1968-1972) -- If at first you don't succeed, layer, layer and then layer again (1973-1981) -- The OLA 1988 and Part V : the right to choose your language at work (1982-2013). 610 10 $a Canada. $t Official Languages Act 610 10 $a Canada. $t Official Languages Act (1988) 630 07 $a Official Languages Act (Canada : 1988) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01375808 650 0 $a Language policy $z Canada. 651 0 $a Canada $x Language. $x Language. 651 0 $a Canada $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Public institutions $z Canada $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Employees $x Language. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909158 650 7 $a Language and languages $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992180 650 7 $a Language policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992402 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 650 4 $a Language policy $z Canada. 650 4 $a Canada $x Language. $x Language. 650 4 $a Canada $x Law and legislation. $x Law and legislation. 776 1 $a Gaspard, Helaina, 1986-, author. $t Canada's official languages.: $d Ottawa, Ontario : University of Ottawa Press, 2019. $k Politics and public policy $w (CaOONL)20189065753 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gaspard, Helaina, 1986- $t Canada's official languages. $d Ottawa, Ontario : University of Ottawa Press, 2019 $z 9780776623375 $z 9780776623375 $w (OCoLC)1080216003 830 0 $a Politics and public policy 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013527.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105025414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AEDEB84AB81211E9A4E5754297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
