My Comment: This law on "fundamental values" ignores everyone who is not French. Indians and native peoples .... they do not exist. The Inuit .... they do not exist. The English and immigrant communities .... they do not exist.
In any other country in the world this law will be regarded as culturally racist and discriminatory .... but not in Quebec.
