Bernard Landry wants French mandatory for immigrant CEGEP students

Former péquiste premier Bernard Landry has jumped into the headlines once again–and, once again, created a potential nightmare for the party he once led. Reacting to a recent La Presse story reporting that Allophones now outnumber Francophones in Quebec public schools, Landry said the government should make French mandatory for immigrant CEGEP students. A favourite of the PQ fringes for decades, Landry himself didn’t implement such a policy when he was premier; doing so, after all, would collapse the PQ’s already-shaky support within immigrant communities–the very ones PQ leader Pauline Marois is trying to woo.
