"The author does not pretend that this coexistence has been free of conflict. In the contemporary world, Canada's record of democratic coexistence of two large and very different language groups within a single state, is an exception not the rule. The decision to have English and French as official languages is a minimum requirement to allow Canada to develop as a country, as is the goal of giving both languages equal status in all spheres of life."
