Update on the final report of the Bouchard-Taylor Commission

Montréal, April 3, 2008 – The final report of the Consultation Commission on Accommodation Practices Related to Cultural Differences (CCPARDC) will be published in the second half of May 2008 (the date has yet to be confirmed). The drafting of the report has been completed and different stages in its production will be carried out in the coming weeks.

The CCAPRDC, co-chaired by sociologist and historian Gérard Bouchard and philosopher Charles Taylor, was asked to take stock of accommodation practices and analyse all facets of the question by conducting a province-wide consultation (www.accommodements.qc.ca).
