Translating the printemps érable

Translating the printemps érable is a volunteer collective attempting to balance the English media's extremely poor coverage of the student conflict in Québec by translating media that has been published in French into English. These are amateur translations; we have done our best to translate these pieces fairly and coherently, but the final texts may still leave something to be desired. If you find any important errors in any of these texts, we would be very grateful if you would share them with us at translatingtheprintempsderable@gmail.com. Please read and distribute these texts in the spirit in which they were intended; that of solidarity and the sharing of information.

 

If you would like to volunteer and join the effort, please contact us at the above email before embarking on any translation work, in order to avoid any redundancies. We cannot accept translations that have not been cleared with us first.

MONTREAL- Even if she has a minority Pauline Maois has the firm intention to act rapidly to cancel the rise in tuition, and repleal Bill 101.

The elected Premier gave an overview Wednesday of the steps she wants to take.  

“My government will cancel the increase in tuition by decree. Law 78 will no longer be in place.” She said, arguing that she hoped to obtain the support of the opposition parties. 

Even if a decree is adopted by the government to cancel the increase, a non-confidence motion could be filed by her opponents. 

“Even in a minority, I have the intention to get results for the people,” affirmed the PQ leader who accepted the verdict of the population.
