Quebec Premier François Legault is defending the province's French-language law again, saying critics of the legislation have it wrong and insisting that access to health care for anglophones and immigrants will remain the same once Bill 96 is passed.
Under Bill 96, CEGEP spots for non-anglophone students will be capped, forcing many francophone and allophone students out of the English system. Legault says it’s a matter of protecting French in Quebec. However, he admitted more English should be taught in the French schools and vice versa.
Bill 96 has drawn anger across the province, with protests taking place against the bill and people calling for it to be scrapped. However, Legault says despite the concerns from the anglophone community, access to services in English will not be eliminated.
Elizabeth Zogalis explains more on what the premier has to say and why his defence of the bill is not wavering.
