Two Quebec Liberal MNAs have written to the minister responsible for the #French #language urging the government of Premier #FrançoisLegault to rethink a directive that rejects official certificates that were issued by the province in #English prior to the adoption of #Bill96.

Hung up on by the #RAMQ for speaking #English.
#Quebec promised #Bill96 wouldn't affect access to #HealthCare. Turns out "health care" doesn't include #PublicHealthInsurance.

«A #Montreal family trying 2 settle an outstanding matter from their late father’s estate has run up against a new & ridiculous consequence o #Bill96.
A #Quebec government department has rejected the #English copy of their father’s death certificate, an official document issued by none other than..the Quebec government itself.
The family has been told to produce a certified #French translation of the document — at an added cost — 4 it 2 be considered valid.»

«"The purpose of local gov: 2 provide exemplary service 2 ppl in our community, w/o judgement. The English #language forms important part o identity o majority o our residents. We have ppl in our community who r gay & straight, French-speaking & English-speaking, Christian, Jewish & Muslim. The only way 2 provide municipal service in community like ours: through rspct & tolrnce o differences. #Bill96—like #Bill21 before it—is flawed; we look to making our case in court"»

«...the city of #CôteStLuc made it clear just how seriously it takes the #Legault government’s latest linguistic reality.
“For service in English, press 2,” says a recorded voice that answers the municipality’s general information number. “And by the way, you don’t need to show us your Grade 3 report card or your family tree going back 10 generations. And you don’t have to pinky promise anything.»

« #Bill96 — “An Act respecting French, the official & common language of Québec” — received royal assent on June 1, 2022, 1 year ago today. We at the Quebec Association of Independent Schools ( #QAIS ) mark this day w/ sadness.
W/ its pre-emptive use o the notwithstanding clause & its override o the #QuebecCharter o #HumanRightsAndFreedoms, Bill 96 does not reflect the inclusive Quebec we are trying to build together & is promoted at our member schools.»

«The suit was filed by a group called the #TaskForceOnLinguisticPolicy.
"Today, we are obliged to take the #Quebec government to court to ensure our #rightsrare respected," said Andrew Caddell, task force president.
"No legislation can abolish #IndividualRights, which is what #Bill96 tries to do by invoking the #NotwithstandingClause," added lawyer Michael Bergman.»
