Charter of the French Language and Premier Pauline Marois

Premier Pauline Marois: Premier Pauline Marois said it is clear that Quebecers cannot rely on the Liberal party to Protect the French Language, and said if re-elected, she will make adopting a revised Charter of the French Language a priority, according to CTV. During the previous 18 months the Parti Quebecois tried and failed to pass revisions to the Charter of the French Language, with one of the sticking points being a measure to give anglophones priority access to English CEGEPs and universities -- a move that would in many cases mean francophones and allophones with good grades would not be allowed to attend and Philippe Couillard's argument during Thursday's election debate that bilingualism is an asset has turned the election campaign to the linguistic fears of francophone Quebecers. "We will adopt the new Charter in our mandate that is a major measure to protect the French language and to protect the citizens. We want live in French, to work in French, that is very important," said Marois. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
