Standing up for language rights

The University of Ottawa will be the managing institution for the Harper administration’s Language Rights Support Program (LRSP), according to an announcement by the Minister of Canadian Heritage, James Moore, on Sept. 9. 

The appointment of a managing institution represents the need for a third party.  The LRSP uses its budget to support court cases in which an individual, group, or organization may challenge someone’s language rights.
