Indigenous groups going to court over changes to Quebec’s French-language
law

Two Indigenous groups are going to court over the reforms passed last year
to Quebec’s French-language law, with lawyers filing a request for a
judicial review on Thursday.

The Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador and the First Nations
Education Council are asking Quebec Superior Court to look at 14 articles
in the Charter of the French Language, which was amended by Bill 96 last
June. They have argued the provisions infringe on their rights to
self-determination and to teach children their ancestral languages, as
stipulated in the Constitution Act of 1982.
