[Note: There is, as yet, no PPT file for this lecture. The outline below is abstracted from my notes for the lecture.]

The presence of, sovereignty of, and accommodation to Francophone Canada—the "French Fact”—is a persistent theme in Canadian federalism. It also is a matter that distinguishes and enriches Canada culturally. From a broader view, it is a study in national self-determination in an era of renewed nationalism worldwide. This lecture traces the issue of Francophone status in Canada from Confederation in 1867 to the Referendum of 1995.
