Quebec will not remove English content from government websites, Roberge says
“We’ll keep what I would call the good-faith mechanism that we currently use,” the French language minister said.
French Language Minister Jean-François Roberge has dismissed a recommendation that he remove most English from government websites, leaving a limited amount for people who can prove they are eligible. “I’ll tell you right away that we have no intention of having some kind of password or identification mechanism,” Roberge told reporters in Quebec City on Thursday.“We’ll keep what I would call the good-faith mechanism that we currently use.” He made the comment a day after Quebec’s French language commissioner complained that English remains too freely available on Quebec government websites and should be sharply reduced, with checks on who is allowed to read it.
