Colin Standish and Myrtis Fossey, co-leaders of the Canadian Party of Quebec, hold a news conference in Ottawa. The leaders are discussing a letter they sent to Canada’s political leaders demanding that the country prepare for a third referendum on Quebec independence. They are joined by their party’s Youth Critic Will Twolan. Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has pledged to hold such a referendum if his party takes power in the next provincial election.

Au Québec, le gouvernement multiplie ses actions pour contenir le déclin du français dans la province, mais la communauté anglophone minoritaire s'inquiète des conséquences de ces législations sur ses propres droits linguistiques. Nous sommes allés rencontrer des militants anglo-québécois pour mieux comprendre leur vision des choses.

The leader and deputy leader of the Canadian Party of Quebec, Colin Standish and Myrtis Fossey, hold a news conference in Ottawa. The leaders are calling on the federal government to protect the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and disallow what they call the “arbitrary use” of the notwithstanding clause. Quebec’s National Assembly recently voted to renew use of the notwithstanding clause to protect the province’s secularism law, Bill 21, from court challenges.

At a news conference in Ottawa, Colin Standish and Myrtis Fossey, the leader and deputy leader of the Canadian Party of Quebec, call on the federal government to protect the rights of linguistic minorities in Quebec. Standish also calls on federal Health Minister Mark Holland to reduce health-care transfer payments to the province until issues of unequal access are resolved. The Canadian Party of Quebec advocates for federalism, religious freedom and minority language rights in the province. It was launched ahead of the 2022 provincial election, where it won zero seats.

At a news conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canadian Party of Quebec Leader Colin Standish urges the federal government to disallow Bill 96, the Quebec government’s legislation to strengthen the provincial French language charter. He is joined by Myrtis Fossey, a clinical psychologist and former party candidate. Bill 96 received royal assent and passed into law in June 2022.
