Liberal leader Charles Milliard has expressed his commitment to better protecting the French language in Quebec, stating that his forthcoming plan will surpass the current measures implemented by the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ). This announcement follows concerns voiced by French Language Commissioner Benoît Dubreuil, who indicated that the existing charter is insufficient to stabilize the status of French in the province. Milliard plans to unveil his specific proposals by June 21, aiming to promote and safeguard the French language. His recent comments also reflect a shift in stance regarding Bill 96, which strengthens the Charter of the French Language; he initially supported retaining an exemption clause but has since indicated a willingness to amend the bill. Additionally, the Liberal Party has opposed a proposal to extend Bill 101 to vocational training and adult education. During the party's general council meeting in Sherbrooke, Milliard introduced Valérie Renaud-Martin as the Liberal candidate for Trois-Rivières, emphasizing the importance of the Eastern Townships to the party's history and future.
