Hundreds gather to denounce Bill 14

A few hundred people gathered across from McGill University campus at Premier Pauline Mariois’s Montreal office to protest against Bill 14 yesterday afternoon, as reported by The Gazette on Sunday.

The rally was organized by an organization called Put Back the Flag and a newly formed rights group known as Unity.

The Parti Quebecois’s proposed new language law is meant to tighten up Quebec’s French-language charter. 

Among other things, the law would take away bilingual status of districts whose English-speaking population falls below 50 per cent and force CEGEPs to favour English-speaking applicants.
