Language Law Dept: The existing Charter of the French Language in Quebec has been tested by the courts and the current version is Charter-proof ... Some things were struck down, others have been adjusted, according to Globe and Mail. Premier-designate Ms. Marois told reporters this week she will attempt to introduce a language law a new Bill 101 to stop a perceived decline in French around the Montreal and Gatineau area, which she said remains at the heart of our concerns. She called language the centre of my preoccupation and i m going to be watching very carefully, said Mr. Fraser, Canada s Commissioner of Official Languages, in an interview with The Canadian Press in Calgary. I ll be watching to see, are they changing it in ways that might change that? (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
