Speeches

In this section, you will find a selection of speeches and messages from the Director of the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute. Read about OLBI’s progress in its key areas of specialization, innovative partnerships and linguistic-related issues relevant to our community and the broader public.

Note: speeches appear in the language in which they are delivered.

As underscored by the Minister of Canadian Heritage in the Official Languages Action Plan 2018-2023, linguistic duality enhances cross-cultural understanding and communication, broadens perspectives, and allows Canadians to shine on the global stage through their ability, as I am doing now, to move from one language and culture to another.
