When pressed on the topic, the premier added, “What I’m trying to do is make sure that we protect the future of French as a common language, that’s it.”
Legault asking a reporter, “would you agree with me Phil, if in 50 years from now nobody is speaking French at home that the future of French wouldn’t be good?”
