We attempt to analyze how public policy regarding the recognition of minority francophone communities (MFCs) in Canada can be envisioned in two different ways, either in terms of autonomy or integration. Following some socio-political and juridical considerations regarding the different MFCs in Canada, we will make a case for asymmetric public policies in each province and territory. We will also evaluate the weight of power relations present in the State-MFC governance patterns in the policy-making process.
