Dear Editor,
Late this past week, several National radio, television stations and newspapers in Ontario and Quebec have reported that Quebec Premier Francois Legault, does not see the importance of having bilingual signs and will be removing the English versions of signs on a hospital north of Montreal.
Is this a plan to do the same at all Quebec hospitals?
What about English-speaking Quebecers that need hospitals and their rights as Canadians and Quebecers?
Quebec, rightfully so, receives billions to run and maintain its hospitals and care facilities from the federal government.
Quebec also receives over one billion dollars per month in transfer to help the Quebec economy. I wonder where that money comes from? (sarcasm intended).
I sure hope that I am in Shawville the day or night that they decide to remove the English signs from the Pontiac Hospital.
Please Mr. Fortin MPP and Mr. Amos MP, I am waiting to hear your immediate response to Premier Legault’s decision to remove the English signs from a Montreal hospital. What’s next?
This is a disgrace and must be stopped.
Mick Armitage,
Clarendon, Que.
