| '''Language Rights Support Program''' (LRSP) is or was a non-profit organisation whose objectives are "to promote awareness of [[language rights]] through public education; to offer access to alternative dispute resolution processes to settle disputes out of court; to support litigation that helps to advance and clarify constitutional language rights when test cases are involved and dispute resolution efforts have not resolved matters."<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Canadian Heritage Website |url=http://www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/lo-ol/pgm/pubs/padl-lrsp/101-eng.cfm |title=Language Rights Support Program|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090924045942/http://www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/lo-ol/pgm/pubs/padl-lrsp/101-eng.cfm |archive-date= 2009-09-24 }}</ref>

| Following the abolition of the [[Court Challenges Program of Canada]] in 2006, the Language Rights Support Program was created in 2008, receiving an annual budget of $1.5 million from the Government of Canada.
| |
| | |
| The LRSP works to promote constitutional language rights in Canada and offers financial aid to individuals, groups and non-profit organizations who belong to [[official bilingualism in Canada|official language]] communities in Canada and who feel their constitutional language rights have been breached.
| |
| | |
| Financial aid can be awarded for [[alternative dispute resolution]] such as mediation, negotiation and arbitration or it can be awarded for litigation. To receive financial aid, applicants must fulfill the criteria set forth by the LRSP, most importantly having a case that involves constitutional language rights.
