Rights groups plan to protest Bill 96 next month
Minority rights groups in Montreal will protest Bill 96 in Quebec following concern amongst advocates from different sectors such as health and education. The demonstration will begin at 10.30 a.m. on May 14 in front of Dawson College and will end at Quebec Premier Francois Legault’s office on McGill College Ave. downtown.
“As with Bill 21, Bill 96 calls for the most sweeping new series of human rights overrides in the history of Quebec and Canada,” said Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN) President Marlene Jennings. “The fundamental human rights and freedoms of all actors are being cast aside by this government, which will have unprecedented and unchecked power to implement the Charter of the French Language.”
