Question: 1 / 1030

What is one of the objectives of the 1969 Official Languages Act?

To promote French over English in governmental institutions

To establish equality between French and English in Canada's institutions

The 1969 Official Languages Act aimed to establish equality between French and English in Canada's institutions. This meant that both languages were to be given equal status and opportunities in government and public services, rather than promoting one language over the other. This objective differs from option A as it does not prioritize one language over the other, and differs from option C as it does not seek to eliminate the use of English. Option D is also incorrect as the Act aimed to protect and support the development of official language minority communities in Canada.
