National Human Resources Development Committee for the English Linguistic Minority

The National Human Resources Development Committee for the English Linguistic Minority (NHRDC) was created in May 1998 to stimulate and support the enhancing of Quebec's English-speaking communities in economic and human resources development.

Rather than imposing solutions on any group or managing projects directly, its role is to help communities help themselves by taking charge of their own social, economic and cultural development. Through fostering individual growth and an active contribution to the workplace and community.

Vision

The National Committee vision is to support and enable the English linguistic minority to become thriving English-speaking communities with all the vital institutions and access to opportunities that a community needs in order to prosper.

Mission

The mission of the National Committee is to create an enabling environment to enhance the vitality and the development of the English linguistic minority to achieve its vision by :

• Implementing, managing and monitoring the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 1998 between the Government of Canada, represented by the Deputy Minister of Human Resources Development, and the English linguistic minority community, located in Quebec
  
  
• Providing a forum for exchange, strategic decision making and joint planning
  
  
• Fostering discussion, dialogue and mutual understanding
  
  
• Integrating partners
  
  
• Creating an environment to encourage, support and guide community economic and human resources development
  
  
• Communicating the mission of the National Committee
  
  
• Influencing policies, programs and services of HRDC and any other federal organization who participate in this initiative.
