Description
An account of the resource
During the late 1960's and early 1970's, Dr. Richard Alway conducted a series of interviews on tape in affiliation with OISE. The series, called "Canadian Public Figures on Tape", consists of six interviews ranging in 30 minutes to 1 hour, and was meant to address a lack of contemporary subject material in Canadian history courses. Interview subjects include Lester Pearson, John Diefenbaker, René Lévesque, Maurice Lamontange, Tommy Douglas, and Walter Gordon.

Richard Alway: In a speech in November of 1963, a member of the newly-elected
Pearson government, the Honourable Maurice Lamontagne spoke of
one of Canada's most pressing problems.
“Canada's first century has been marked by great achievements and also
at times by serious crises. The Riel incident, the school question in the
west, our participation in war and the conscription crisis, have all
divided our two main ethnic groups and threatened our national unity.
Those successive crises have followed a common pattern. They resulted
from action initiated in English-speaking Canada and the ensuing
reaction of French-speaking Canada. We are now going through another
serious national crisis, but this time a new pattern has appeared. The
current crisis is the result of actions taken in Quebec.”
Senator Lamontagne, a decade has passed since you wrote that. In your
opinion, is this crisis, the threat of Quebec separation, more or less
acute than it was when you wrote those words?
M. Lamontagne: Well I think it was beginning to really develop in 1963. My impression
is that it peaked around 1970 in Quebec, as a purely Quebec
phenomenon. I fear, however, that there might be a revival of the crisis.
This time perhaps as a kind of backlash in Quebec resulting from the -
what may happen in the future months, let's say, or next year, in
English-speaking Canada. I think that if the so-called French Power is
checked, and if there's growing opposition to the spreading of some
degree of bilingualism, especially in the federal civil service and all
this, those who have taken the succession from Quebec in the federal
field might be discouraged, they might be inclined to go back home.
And then this would leave at the federal level, at the national level,
some kind of vacuum. And this vacuum might produce some kind of
revival of the separatist movement in Quebec.
But I hope that this won't happen, of course
