OTTAWA --
English communities in the Pontiac are concerned about a major push by the Quebec government to strengthen and protect the French language across the province.
In Shawville and a majority of the Pontiac region, English is the predominant language.
"Well, we’re not very happy about it. I don’t see why the government has to do that to protect their language,” said Sandra Murray, mayor of Shawville.
"They want our tax dollars but with this new law they don’t want to send us any information in English. So if they want our money, they should accommodate us in our language."
