This image was recently released, and the involved members are suspected to be three cabinet ministers Honorable Kason Jenney, Minister for Multiculturalism; the Honorable Ghelly Slover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official languages; and the Honorable Ahris Clexander, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.

In consideration of the three cabinet ministers involved in the released image, the J.L.A. Party believes that they were discussing the implications (results) of this map to consider and assess the current diversity and balance of Canada’s social community.

There will be three levels of understanding the official languages:

1) To immigrate to Canada you need a basic understanding of one or both of the official languages. 

2) To gain citizenship you need an intermediate understanding of one or both of the official languages.

3) Implement the right for big corporations and companies to evaluate on a personal level of the applicable official language of the region, and if not eligible for the job they can be turned away due to their language deficit.

This new requirement does not apply to existing residents and citizens of Canada (ie. First Nations, Inuit or Metis) in order to protect culture and heritage. It will only be required to current citizens if basic understanding of an official language is required by an employer. The new law is meant to “break down the language barrier” and allow all Canadians and immigrants to communicate and be part of a multicultural society.

Definitions of levels of understanding [of an official language]:

Standard: The ability to uphold a basic and simple conversation for the means of communication. Also includes the basic understanding of interpreting an official language (written or spoken). Quick and efficient interpretation of difficult words not required.

Intermediate: Can conversate either official language with minimal error, although slowly, learns new terms with some difficulty. Basic writing skills, but with spelling and grammar errors.

Advanced: Able to speak fluent conversational English and/or French, write fluent English and/or French with minimal error (in both spelling and grammar), with quick ability to interpret newer and difficult words.

In our opinion, while this map shows much diversity within Canada, it also indicates that a large portion of Canada’s population lacks the fluency and involvement within Canada’s originating cultures such as Anglophones, Francophones, and the FNMI (First Nations, Metis, Inuit) groups. The J.L.A. highly values immigrants as they contribute to Canada’s economy and social culture, and the preservation of them through collective and individual rights. However we also believe in the importance of Canada’s own heritage and official languages, and would like to introduce new measures to ensure it stays strong and significant within current Canadian values of multiculturalism.
