Help support our Supreme Court of Canada challenge of Quebec's denial of access to free court interpreter services to anglophone and other minority language groups through Bill-96 which are available to francophones outside of Quebec.

Shouldn't any use of the "Notwithstanding Clause" that seeks to undermine Canada as a multicultural and bilingual society consisting of English-speaking and French-speaking Official Language communities as recognized by provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and accompanying human rights be declared to be unconstitutional?

Carby-Samuels v. Ville de Gatineau (represented by DHC Avocats) File No. 500-09-030819-239, is a Quebec Court of Appeal Notice of Motion that affects the rights of hundreds of thousands of non-francophone Canadians within and outside the Province of Quebec who may need to pursue the affirmation of their civil and human rights in a Quebec courtroom.

Should francophone public entities like the Gatineau Police Service feel confident that they can trample the rights of non-francophones who don’t have the money to hire an expensive francophone lawyer, simply by electing to speak French in court hearings?

Should the Government of Quebec be allowed to ignore the rule of law as it pertains to Supreme Court of Canada decisions that seek to affirm the Charter?

Should the minority rights of hundreds of thousands of Canadians in Quebec continue to be marginalized by francophone organizations that run roughshod over the rights of these minorities, backed by provincial government policies that ignore our fundamental rights and freedoms?

Demand that the Court of Appeal, based upon Supreme Court of Canada decisions, declare that any use of the "Notwithstanding Clause" to deny fundamental human rights through Bill-96 and any under such government bills must be declared to be illegal.

Bill-96 is not about protecting the French language.

It's an effort to declare the national independence of Quebec from the rest of Canada without having to go through another referendum vote. It's part of a secretive arrangement to allow Quebec quietly to separate.

Why you think Trudeau is not saying anything against it?

Bill-96 contains no substantive provisions to actually support the growth of the French language. With your support of our Quebec Court of Appeal challenge, we can demand access to justice for all Canadians in Quebec, and stop the oppressive and separatist agenda which Bill-96 represents.

Let's also push to enshrine indigenous / First Nations languages as Official Languages in Quebec along with access to justice for people of all languages who seek to avail their rights in the Quebec legal system.

Our efforts have been published in the Associated Press and by other media organizations.

E-mail us at info@humanrightscommission.ca if you would like to directly send us a letter of moral support which we can then send to the Supreme Court of Canada.  Our website is humanrightscommission.ca.

We also invite you to donate to our Court Legal Fund for access to justice for all Canadians and against Bill-96
