Ontario MP Pierre Poilievre is the only candidate in the Conservative leadership race to stay mum on Quebec’s controversial new language law, Bill 96.
Bill 96 imposes new rules to reinforce the use of French in the public service, education and business. She said a public position by Mr. Poilievre would mean risking support in Quebec or risking support in English Canada . “Canadians and party members need to know where politicians stand on important issues, especially given other candidates have recently changed their position on Bill 21,” Mr. Charest said in a statement to The Globe and Mail on Friday.
The law’s consequence to the federal government mean “these are not minor questions that nobody really cares about,” said Joan Fraser, a retired Liberal senator and former editor-in-chief of the Montreal Gazette who sits on the board of the Quebec Community Groups Network, which opposes Bill 96.
