The Policy is adopted 10 years after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the province’s Official Language Act, which made English Manitoba’s sole official language, was unconstitutional.

The Policy aims to ensure that Franco-Manitobans and the institutions that serve them receive comparable governmental services in the language of Manitoba’s legislation.
