Quebec Community Groups Network: Anglophone Community

Jean-Francois Lisee Dept: Former journalist and long-time PQ advisor Jean-Francois Lisee is the minister responsible for Montreal, and part of his job is reaching out to the anglophone community, according to CTV. The Quebec Community Groups Network issued a statement Wednesday saying they welcome Lisee's appointment, saying that with this appointment the organization feels Marois is sending a signal to all Quebecers that the English-speaking community is an integral part of the fabric of the province and the newly-anointed Parti Quebecois government held its first meeting Thursday morning, with Premier Pauline Marois leading her 23 cabinet ministers. Lisee said that anglophones and francophones have to think outside the box, saying Quebec is a garden, not a box. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
