Anthony Housefather, who represents the Montreal riding, said elements of C\u002D13 would erode the rights of Quebec’s English\u002Dspeaking.
Among them is Anthony Housefather, MP for Mount Royal in Montreal, who told the National Post on Tuesday evening that there are clear “red lines” in the legislation as it currently stands because of amendments that were adopted by opposition parties.
Among them is the idea that the implementation of C-13 would be done while respecting provincial jurisdiction, including the Quebec Charter of the French Language, and that the Charter would have precedent on incompatible dispositions of the federal law.Article content Some other Liberal MPs representing English-speaking communities in Montreal said they were still thinking about how they would vote, when the time comes.
Miller agreed with his colleagues that some of the opposition’s amendments have “undermined” the spirit of the law, meant to protect the French language in Quebec and in minority situations in the rest of Canada, including in Ontario and New Brunswick.Article content But the whip of the Liberal caucus, Steven MacKinnon, told reporters Wednesday “no decision” had been made on whether or not Liberals will be free to vote as they wish.
