Report suggests tougher laws to help French in Quebec

A new report is advising the Quebec government to toughen up if it wants to make French the number one language in the province.

According to the Montreal Gazette, the report suggests the government should crack down on English in the work place.

It also encouraged promoting French amoung immigrants and in schools, and rejected the idea that bilingualism should be a job requirement in Quebec.

The report was written by the Conseil supérieur de la langue française.

The president of the organization presented the report to the Parti Quebecois government on Wednesday.

Public hearings on Bill 14, the PQ’s proposed update to Bill 101, begin today at the National Assembly.
