Canada's Official Languages Commissioner criticizes Quebec's English junior college enrollment cap for hindering bilingualism inclusion.

Canada's Official Languages Commissioner, Raymond Théberge, has criticized Quebec's cap on English junior college enrollment, which limits students to 17.5% of the total population, as part of a 2022 language reform. He argues that these institutions are vital for fostering bilingualism. Théberge also notes rising tuition for out-of-province students and dispels the notion that English speakers neglect French, citing that 71% of Quebec anglophones are bilingual.
