French and English are Canada's Official Languages. They are equal. Neither language takes precedence over the other, nor is either subservient to the other.

After the British captured Québec in the Seven Years War (sometimes called the French and Indian War), the people of Québec were guaranteed the right to continue using their language. That guarantee was extended by Canada's adoption of the Official Languages Act.
