Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois says access to English daycares should be limited in Quebec. (Ryan Remiorz/Canadian Press)The Parti Québécois wants to amend Quebec's language law to restrict access to English daycares.
PQ leader Pauline Marois is calling for a change that would limit access to English daycares to the children of parents educated in English in Canada.
She says the amendment is necessary because the presence of the French language in Montreal has faded considerably.
Marois says Premier Jean Charest has done nothing while the French language has been disappearing from Montreal.
She says she's concerned about the integration of immigrants into the francophone majority.
The PQ is holding a party conference this weekend to discuss its positions on issues related to language, immigration and identity.
