QCGN implores Senate Committee to Withdraw Mentions of Quebec’s Charter of the French Language from Official Languages Act Overhaul
The Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) has warned a Senate committee that Bill C-13 could have serious negative effects on Quebec’s English-speaking community and on Official Language Minority Communities across the country.
The Senate Standing Committee on Official Languages is studying Bill C-13, An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada’s Official Languages. The bill is designed to modernize the Official Languages Act and establish language-of-work rules for federally regulated private businesses in Quebec. The QCGN appeared before the committee this afternoon.
