MOTION NO. 21
~oved by Crawford, seconded by Burton
It is recommended that WHEREAS, the correspondence
from the Canadian Parents for French (Ontario)
dated December 5, 1989, was reviewed by the Council
of the Corporation of the Township of Oro, and
found to have the following bias:
- 7 -
(a)
AND WHEREAS, some teachers have come from
other cultures and countries and cannot
speak English.
ARE THESE TEACHERS CAPABLE?
(b)
AND WHEREAS, unilingual Anglophones may not
be able to fill Ontario Government jobs or
successfully fill higher positions in the Ontario
Government when the Governments priority
in the area of employment equity is as follows:
1)
2 )
3 )
4 )
5 )
Women,
Visible minorities,
Aboriginal peoples,
Disabled persons,
FRANCOPHONES.
At the present time 92.3% of the jobs are filled by
Anglophones not 94%, and this percentage will continue to
decline according to the above Ontario Government priority.
(c)
AND WHEREAS, C.P.F. indicates that six percent of
positions designated bilingual will be filled by
people who are already able to function in Canada's
two official languages.
WHY THEN DOES THE ONTARIO PUBLIC SERVICE FRANCOPHONES HAVE
7.7% OF UNION POSITIONS WHICH WILL INCREASE, ACCORDING TO
THE PRIORITIES SET BY THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT.
(d)
AND WHEREAS, C.P.F. offers the following comment:
"Another point; how can "higher School Board Taxes
resulting from Provincial Language Laws, and the
heavy tax burden arising out of Bill 8" have any
affect of municipal costs"?
Our experience in Simcoe County indicates that start
up costs for only four schools to offer extended French
Immersion for the first four months will be $500,000.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SCHOOL BOARD TAXES WILL NOT BE
AFFECTED BY THE ACT AND WILL NOT CREATE "A HEAVY TAX
BURDEN" .
AND WHEREAS, it is time someone in Ontario showed some
leadership and took a stand against this unwanted and expensive
foolishness of trying to turn an English speaking country,
beside an English speaking neighbour of 240 million, in a world
turning to English as a common language of diplomacy, into a
FRENCH speaking country?
Is the example of French in Quebec, where the minority English
are forbidden BY LAW, under penalty of fines and imprisonment to
do business in their own language, what we want as a country?
This type of racial discrimination is unique in the world.
Municipalities in Ontario should now say no. We have better
things to do with our tax dollars and a much brighter future to
contemplate for our children than to have them raised illiterate
in two languages.
AND THEREFORE, the Township of Oro along with the City of
Orillia has taken a stand and would request that your
municipality, after careful review of the facts, would also take
a position on this issue. Tabled.
