Business fears paperwork from Bill 96
Small and medium-sized businesses, which will soon be obliged to enforce the use of French, are worried about the extra government paperwork they will have to do. Well, that’s too bad, isn’t it? Everyone has to put an effort into maintaining the French language, and if you have to hire a language officer for your business, that’s the sacrifice you need to make.
In fact, our universities would be wise to create language officer programs, which would teach not only language skills but also aspects of law, psychology and management, because those people will be needed.

I think our universities have done enough damage to the law, psychology, and management of our country, and that we probably need more of the common sense you get from the medium-sized business owners, rather than our designated experts out of the universities, who cause so much grief for everyone else.

Starting to sound a mite populist there, david. We need more experts, and not more businesspeople putting their oar in. Business by its very nature only cares about profit – which is fine, in its place, within limits. But even then we need experts to figure out where business’s drive for profit is damaging the environment past recovery.

As though universities hold more sway over our government than businesses do, and that higher education isn’t correlated with a country’s standard of living. What a comment.
