This article investigates how the struggles of national groups have affected the politics of bureaucratic representation of ethnic minorities in B elgium and C anada, and vice‐versa. It argues that the politics of multinational representation in B elgium limited the adoption of measures seeking to guarantee a greater representation of ethnic and racial minorities. In contrast, the politics of multiculturalism in C anada associated with the political mobilization of ethnic groups, contributed to the rejection of measures of guaranteed representation of Francophones in the federal bureaucracy. Measures adopted to increase the representation of Francophones, however, did not impede later attempts to augment representation of visible minorities in the civil service
