Quebec鈥檚 Finance Minister, Eric Girard (BCom鈥89) recently added the portfolio of Minister Responsible for Relations with English-Speaking Quebecers to his responsibilities. This makes him a key voice on Bill 96, the French-language bill passed by the Coalition Avenir Quebec government in 2022. 鈥淔rench is in decline in Canada, Quebec, Montreal, so the numbers are undeniable,鈥 says Girard, who has met with groups and individuals from the English community to understand their concerns. 鈥淏y now I understand a few things where we can do better. I鈥檓 getting a feeling that people, that the English-speaking Quebecers, feel that they don鈥檛 belong in our project that we have in Quebec. Our project is inclusive, but it is not perceived this way.鈥
