From the official Discover Canada study guide — 1.2.4 Official Language Rights and Minority Language Educational Rights:

Canada has two official languages, French and English. The Charter puts them on an equal footing. Both have the same status in Parliament, and both have the same status throughout the government. Neither language sits above the other. Beside this, the Charter sets out minority language educational rights. Official language rights and minority language educational rights are named together as one of the Charter's most important protections. The key idea to remember is equal status for French and English.
