The #Senate has voted overwhelmingly to adopt Bill C-13, an overhaul of the #OfficialLanguagesAct that has caused anger and sparked concern among #Quebec #Anglophones, one of the communities the law is intended to protect.
The #UpperHouse rejected a proposed amendment – backed by Quebec #Senators #TonyLoffreda and #JudithSeidman – that would have removed references to Quebec’s #CharterOfTheFrenchLanguage, commonly known as #Bill101, from #BillC13.
