Language task force wants Bill 96 hearings open to all Quebecers

Record Staff

The Task Force on Linguistic Policy is calling on the provincial government to open up the committee hearings on Bill 96 to more Quebecers.
Fifty groups and individuals were privately invited to present before the Education and Culture Committee without public notice. According to a press release from the Task Force, only three groups tasked with representing the approximately 1.2 million English-speaking Quebecers were among those invited, despite substantial opposition to Bill 96 and the proposed Constitutional amendment.

The Task Force recommend that Quebecers concerned with Bill 96 voice their concerns by emailing their MNAs and M. Olivier Champagne, the Bill 96 Committee Clerk, at
cce@assnat.qc.ca.
