NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WALKS BACK “3 CONTENT COURSES IN FRENCH” RULE FOR ENGLISH CEGEPS
Over the past two days, the National Assembly discussed Bill 96, An Act respecting French, the Official and Common Language of Québec and commentary from the Committee on Culture and Education, which earlier reviewed the bill on a clause-by-clause basis.
Introducing the bill Wednesday, Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) MNA Mathieu Lévesque outlined the various “pillars” affected, such as the state’s exemplarity, business, work, higher education, and linguistic governance. Regarding CEGEPs, MNA Lévesque affirmed that no other government had shown the courage to act on the place of the French language within CEGEPs.
