The Parti Quebecois wants to amend Quebec's language law to restrict access to English daycares.
PQ leader Pauline Marois is calling for a change that would limit access to English daycares to the children of parents educated in English in Canada.
She says the amendment is necessary because the presence of the French language in Montreal has faded considerably.
Marois says Premier Jean Charest has done nothing while the French language has been disappearing from Montreal.
She says she's concerned about the integration of immigrants into the francophone majority.
The PQ is holding a party conference this weekend to discuss its positions on issues related to language, immigration and identity.
The provincial language law -- also known as Bill 101 -- restricts access to English-language primary and secondary schools to the kids of parents who studied in English in Canada.
Former premier Bernard Landry and the PQ's youth wing recently requested that the party push for Bill 101 to be expanded to include the province's CEGEP colleges.

I think he was pushed to take matters into his own hands. I have a teenage son and if he was involved with a drug dealer I would be furious and try anything to save him like this father did for his daughter. Why do police often say they can't do anything until it's too late? Whether it be a drug dealer or an abusive spouse, the police can't seem to do anything until something really bad happens. In this case they could have raided the drug dealers home and arrested him. The whole town knew what was going on in that house but yet the police chose to do nothing. Release this man and give him a medal for doing the right thing by his daughter. I can't wait to see the episode on W5, I will certainly be watching this one.
