Quebec City public hearings concerning Bill 96 wrap up amid controversy
Public hearings in Quebec City on Bill 96 have wrapped up.
Thirty-nine presentations were made over a nine-day period starting Sept. 23.
Many people support the proposed legislation that will upgrade Quebec’s language law, Bill 101, but some Anglophone groups have major concerns fearing the bill will weaken English services in health care, the judiciary system and that it will erode access to English-speaking CEGEPS for many Francophones.
