Martin Normand:
"Compelling and convincing": This book is situated at the confluence of public administration and language policy and manages to offer an important and original contribution to both fields. (...) Gaspard develops a compelling analytical narrative around institutionalism, path dependency and layering to explain the shortcomings of the successive language reforms and the role of various actors within the state apparatus. (...) This book should be included in reading lists and research on public administration in Canada. It convincingly illustrates the amount of time and effort devoted to language reform within the public service in Canada, which has not received the necessary attention from the field. It also has the potential to foster comparative studies with other countries that aim to have a linguistically representative bureaucracy. Gaspard offers a unique perspective that must not go unnoticed.
