Excerpt from The Language Issue in Canada
In the working Of our federal government no serious pro blem has arisen. Here there is no question, as yet at least, except of English and French. NO other tongue counts suffi cient adherents in the Dominion as a whole to have the influence or the consideration sometimes received in provincial areas. The powers which our federal government possesses, to veto any provincial law, and to enforce the rights of provincial re ligious minorities with reference to education, make it possible to bring any controverted provincial issue before the federal parliament, but the direct contact of the Dominion authorities with education, the battleground Of most language disputes, is small.
