Canada’s linguistic dualityTwo official languages
• French the official language minority
7.7 million, of which 1 million live outside Quebec in geographically dispersed communities
• English the minority language in Quebec
1 million

Strong Government of Canada commitment to Official Language Minorities (OLMs)The Enabling Fund (EF) for Official Language Minority Communities (OLMCs) supports communities in addressing their labour market needs • Objective: Enhance vitality through economic and workforce development and
work towards common goals
• Supports: 14 organizations providing local leadership, promoting partnerships, implementing projects, filling gaps in services, and leveraging networks – One per province/territory plus national umbrella organization
• Moving forward: Increase emphasis on providing locally relevant information, strengthening self-assessment capacity and diversifying funding sources

…including community developmentCanada’s two official languages are part of our history and our national identity - they help define who we are as Canadians
• Roadmap for Canada's Official Languages 2013-2018 outlines Government's major policy directions
– Three key areas: Education, Immigration, Communities– Comprehensive initiative reaffirms commitment to linguistic duality– Invests in 30 measures delivered by 15 federal departments and agencies
– Builds on progress
• Complements other actions

Challenges to vitality for OLMCs

Local level analysis key to understand OLM needs
• National / regional picture fails to capture needs – local lens required
• Difficult to get local level data on small populations
![Page 7: Denise Gareau - Enabling Fund for Official Language Minority Communities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/587ab6a71a28abc0478b492f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

What we did to get the information• A five year the EF collaboration with Statistics Canada:
– Innovative ways to embed within existing datasets, link data
– New methodologies based on research from the OECD LEED amongst
others
– Development of tools employing the latest in mapping and data visualization
• Our Objective: Better understand the local labour market conditions in
OLMCs, to support local organizations in identifying needs and
opportunities for economic and workforce development
![Page 8: Denise Gareau - Enabling Fund for Official Language Minority Communities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/587ab6a71a28abc0478b492f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What we did – Key steps• Define Labour Market Areas - a new geography based on commuting patterns
• Display data - visualization techniques
• Assess the balance between skills supply and demand – Skills Equilibrium
• Add measure to assess economic health of labour market areas - Economic
Performance Index – a compound measure to assess the economic health of
labour market areas
• Disseminate in a self-serve format - online mapping applications
![Page 9: Denise Gareau - Enabling Fund for Official Language Minority Communities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/587ab6a71a28abc0478b492f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Define Local Labour Market Areas (LMAs)
![Page 10: Denise Gareau - Enabling Fund for Official Language Minority Communities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/587ab6a71a28abc0478b492f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
NOW AND TOMORROW EXCELLENCE IN EVERYTHING WE DO 10
Display local-level labour market area LMIThrough mapping interface charts and graphs can be generated to examine
indicators of interest for specific LMAs
![Page 11: Denise Gareau - Enabling Fund for Official Language Minority Communities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/587ab6a71a28abc0478b492f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• Skills demand measured by combining average employment income and
percentage of people employed in medium-to high-skilled jobs
• Skills supply measured by the percentage of the population having a post-
secondary education (university certificate, diploma or degree)
The Skills Equilibrium Model
Skills Deficit- demand for high-skills is met by a supply of low-skills
Low Skills Trap –demand of low-skillsIs met with supply of low-skills
High SkillsEquilibrium–demand for high-skillsis met with an equal supply of high-skills
Skills Surplus–Demand for low-skillsis met with supply of high-skills

Apply the Skills Equilibrium• OECD LEED Skills for Competitiveness Study (Giguère & Froy, 2009) developed
methodology to assess the degree of match or equilibrium between supply and
demand for skills – High Skills Equilibrium optimal
• Investment in skills upgrading must be accompanied by stimulation of local
demand for these skills, encouraging local enterprises to increase their
productivity and raise competitiveness
• Skills analysis was undertaken for all of Canada’s LMAs…

Add an Economic Performance Index• Objective: Develop a means to measure and compare the economic health of
LMAs across Canada to support identification of disadvantaged areas for targeting
program resources
• Factors in development of the Index:
– Consult and work with experts to determine indicators
– Base Indicators on vetted index measures or concepts
– Ensure relevance by use of data sources which can be updated yearly
– Improve data quality through new approaches such as small-area estimation
![Page 15: Denise Gareau - Enabling Fund for Official Language Minority Communities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/587ab6a71a28abc0478b492f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Disseminate local level information
• Spatial aspect of information meant that dissemination needed strong
visualization components to allow users to zoom into and interact with areas
of interest, and query data layers
• Two options pursued: Community Information Database (an existing
government website) and Open Source web mapping application
![Page 16: Denise Gareau - Enabling Fund for Official Language Minority Communities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070602/587ab6a71a28abc0478b492f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• Developed to provide communities, researchers and governments with
socio-economic and demographic data on Canadian communities
• We updated with three Census years of historically comparable
information with variables broken down by linguistic minority and majority
groups

In-house, low-cost solution• Developed an in-house solution based on open source software
• Advantages:– No costs to developers or users– More sustainable in the long term– Greater flexibility to meet future identified needs – Department can add internal administrative datasets not be possible for
applications housed on an external server

New Brunswick OLMC culture vitalBut there are challenges:
• More than 70% of NB’s Francophone population lives rural areas with economy largely based on resource industries - mining, forestry, peat and fisheries
– Like many resource-oriented regions, dealing with structural changes and serious
economic difficulties
• Weak labour market forcing graduates and skilled workers to leave
– Consequently, businesses facing shortage of skilled workers

Next steps• Support Statistics Canada working to make these local labour market areas
a standard geography
• Continue work on the development of dissemination tools
• Begin to use data and tools to direct and inform our programs
