Quebec language bill sparks constitutional debate in Canada
About this episode
Quebec is in the midst of another debate over language.
The CAQ government has tabled Bill 96, which seeks to update the longstanding Bill 101, in an effort to protect the French language in Quebec.

Montreal Gazette political reporter Philip Authier joins Dave to discuss what the bill covers, concerns being raised over Anglo rights in Quebec, and how this debate has carried over into federal politics.
