Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism

This report is Book Four of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. It focuses on the contributions of other ethnic groups to the Canadian confederation. The terms of reference of this Commission included the direction to consider the contributions that other ethnic group (that is, other than what were described as the 'two founding nations', the French and the English) have made to the cultural enrichment of Canada and what steps could be taken to safeguard that contribution. This section of the Royal Commission's Report focuses on this portion of the mandate of the Commission.

Notably, the Report of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism set the foundation for the adoption of multiculturalism as an official policy of Canada.
