Quebec Student Roundtable will attend summit

The Quebec Student Roundtable will be attending the province’s summit on higher education at the end of the month.

The roundtable’s general secretary Paul-Émile Auger, told CBC News that the group will attend to share its views on the future of universities.

He also pointed out that the group doesn’t have a confrontational relationship with the government and they don’t plan on recreating last spring’s protests.

The umbrella group ASSE pulled out of the summit last week and have planned protests targeting the event and have been considering a strike.

The Quebec Student Roundtable represents about seventy thousand students from Laval, McGill and Sherbrooke universities.
