摘要

自2019冠状病毒病爆发以来，加拿大各司法管辖区的公共机构和政府的语言义务逐渐放松。该条认为，除了法律要求提供少数民族语言服务外，政府在紧急情况下以公共安全和公众健康为由暂停或减少这种服务是没有道理的。在对政府违反其宪法、立法和政策语言义务的行为进行调查和分析以突出最佳实践和缺陷之后，我们将讨论这些行为的政策含义。最后，文章考虑了政府如何在紧急情况下更好地履行其语言义务。

Talk COVID to Me: Language Rights and Canadian Government Responses to the Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, a gradual loosening of linguistic obligations in public institutions and governments has been observed in various jurisdictions in Canada. This article argues that in addition to legal requirements to provide minority language services, it is not justifiable for governments to suspend or curtail such services in an emergency situation, for reasons pertaining to public safety and public health. After performing a survey and analysis of government actions against their constitutional, legislative, and policy language obligations to highlight best practices and deficiencies, we discuss the policy implications of these actions. In conclusion, the article considers how governments could better uphold their language obligations in times of emergency.
