TALQ seeks talks with new Quebec government on anglophone priorities

TALQ says it will seek an early meeting with Quebec’s new minority government to discuss the priorities of English-speaking communities, with access to electoral information in English among its immediate concerns.

In an Oct. 6 statement, the organization congratulated premier-elect Paul St-Pierre Plamondon and said it was ready to build a constructive relationship with the incoming government.

“We are ready to establish a productive relationship, as we have always done,” said TALQ president Eva Ludvig.

“TALQ will ensure that the next government knows that Quebec’s English-speaking community is open and willing to work together. We look forward to seeing that commitment reflected in the government’s actions.”
