In a recent conversation with the Montréal Gazette, LaSalle College President Claude Marchand argues that the Government of Québec’s recent fines risk killing an institution that has directly benefitted the provincial government’s finances, Québec’s international image, and the promotion of the French language. The Gazette offers an overview of LaSalle’s history and operations and provides an explanation of the circumstances that led to its over-enrolment of English students. “We are not stealing from Québec society. On the contrary, we are heavy contributors,” argued Marchand. “We don’t deserve any kind of fine. We deserve additional investments or recognition.”
