PRINCIPAL MEASURES
|
OUTPUTS 2002-2003
|
- Negotiate project funding agreements with non-governmental
organizations and/or provinces and territories for projects that would
benefit official language minority communities.
|
- Each of the funding agreements signed reminds the recipients
of their obligations with respect to the official languages in order
to ensure that the recipients take into account the needs of the minority
official language communities. Some projects focused more specifically
on the issues facing the official language minority communities (for
example, the Journée Fransaskoise du droit and a project
concerning the drafting of a memorandum on the creation of a bilingual
itinerant court in Nova Scotia).
(See Annex B for projects description).
- Meetings have been held with official language minority
organizations with a view to promoting the Department's programs and
helping them submit funding requests that meet the requirements of certain
programs.
|
- Prepare and negotiate agreements with recognized public
legal education and information organizations to ensure that the needs
of official language minority communities are considered in developing
various information publications.
|
- Agreements were signed with public legal education
and information organizations. These agreements aim to ensure that activities
undertaken by these organizations also reflect the needs of official
language minority communities. In addition, the agreements encourage
these organizations to work with associations of French-speaking lawyers.
