CBC's public forum on the future of English in Quebec generated a night of lively discussion on Thursday at the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Crowley Centre.
The special event wrapped up CBC Montreal's Living English season, which looked into the province's English-speaking population and the issues anglophones face.
Last night's panel of guests featured Parti Québécois minister Jean-François Lisée, lawyer and TV personality Anne-France Goldwater, Gazette cartoonist Terry Mosher, social media personality Tamy Emma Pepin, Real Ventures partner John Stokes and the producer of "Bon Cop, Bad Cop," Kevin Tierney.
Here are some of the highlights from the evening:
