Opening Remarks to Committee on Culture and Education by the Quebec Community Groups Network

In a presentation to the general consultation and public hearings on Bill 14: An Act to amend the Charter of the French language, the Charter of human rights and freedoms and other legislative provisions the Quebec Community Groups Network expressed its strong opposition to the proposed legislation. The QCGN said the bill would do little to protect and promote the French language while introducing a whole series of new restrictions on our language that are unfair, unnecessary, and in many cases would have a detrimental effect on our already fragile communities.
