Memo : Bill 96 and Cégeps

In the Fall, the CAQ government proposed Bill 96 (projet de loi 96) to update elements of the charter with regards to the French language, certain aspects of which target cégeps. More recently, there have been several amendments to the proposed law that have direct and severe implications for anglophone cégeps. This issue has been discussed at recent FNEEQ meetings and the FNEEQ Executive has been meeting with the Ministry of Higher Education, the Fédération des cégeps, and student associations on this topic. As the largest anglophone cégep in the network, Dawson will be directly impacted by many of the elements of the proposed law. Below, we outline some of the key aspects as well as how they might impact Dawson.
