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 applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
