Manitoba bilingualism fight in the Manitoba Legislature
The Rossburn Review reviews the Manitoba Legislature session beginning December 1982 marked by bitter dispute over bilingualism. It accuses Premier Pawley and the NDP of pushing to entrench English and French as Manitoba's official languages and to amend Section 23 of the Manitoba Act and Canada's Constitution. The piece condemns planned hearings limited to Winnipeg and a few communities, alleging no mandate and dismissing democratic rights as the NDP rushes changes before 1983 ends.
