Dieppe, New Brunswick
Attorney Michel Doucet has made advocating for Francophone minority rights his top priority. Founder and director of the International Observatory on Language Rights at Université de Moncton, he has deepened Canadians’ understanding of this complex subject through his publications, proposed legislative amendments and teaching. Numerous cases brought and argued before several courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada, have confirmed his influence and expertise in this field, notably the landmark Charlebois v. Moncton case.
