“We have the right to work in Quebec, in French. The bill I want to introduce is to respect the right of Quebecs to work in French, ”said Minister Jolin-Barrett.

Last August, a study by the Institute de la Statistics, conducted on behalf of the Office Cubacois de la Long franchise, revealed that 40% of companies when they were last hired in Quebec wanted or wanted their employees to have skills in English. In Montreal the proportion reached 63%.

The minister in charge of the French language charter promised to address the issue once again, without trivializing the issue in the Radio-Canada report or looking only at isolated cases.

“It simply came to our notice then. I fully intend to address it with a bill that I will be tabling in the coming parliamentary sessions, ”he suggested.
