Quebec Premier François Legault sought to reassure anglophones that his government's language law reform, adopted on Tuesday, won't prevent people from accessing health care in English.
The law, known as Bill 96, passed by a vote of 78-29, with the Opposition Liberals opposing it on the grounds that it goes too far and the Parti Québécois opposing it on the grounds that it is too timid.
Legault said he believes most Quebecers support the law, and that while "a few people" want the province to become bilingual, the majority of anglophones accept that French is Quebec's common language.
