Jawel dus, zowel voor rechtbank als op aandere vlakken.
The Act[3] provides, among other things,
that Canadians have the right to receive services from federal departments and from Crown corporations in both official languages;
that Canadians will be able to be heard before federal courts in the official language of their choice;
that Parliament will adopt laws and to publish regulations in both official languages, and that both versions will be of equal legal weight;
that English and French will have equal status of languages of work within the federal public service within geographically defined parts of the country that are designated bilingual (most notably in National Capital Region, Montreal and New Brunswick), as well as in certain overseas government offices and in parts of the country where there is sufficient demand for services in both official languages. In remaining geographical areas, the language of work for federal public servants is French (in Quebec) and English (elsewhere);
Uit dat laatste punt versta ik anders wel dat de burger kan geholpen worden in beide lanstalen in afgesproken geografische delen van Canada. In de andere delen is het Frans (in Quebec) en de rest Engels. Al is dit toch wel niet echt samenhangend met puntje 1.
