MONTREAL Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois has accused Jean Charest’s Liberal government of shirking its responsibilities when it comes to protecting the French language and culture.
In a speech kicking off a day long workshop on language and culture at the Palais des congrès Saturday morning, Marois said while the PQ embraces the idea of protecting and promoting French culture, the Liberals fear the issue and consider the Charter of the French Language more of a “thorn in its side,” than a useful tool.
