“Quebec English speakers brace as major provisions of language law come into effect” by Verity Stevenson, CBC News

CBC News quotes Montreal lawyer Antoine Aylwin in an article on Quebec’s new language law Bill 96 come into effect.

Antoine Aylwin, a privacy lawyer at the Fasken firm in Montreal, is optimistic that people will come to mutual understandings.

"People will make mistakes. People will request rights that they don't have and will be frustrated. But overall, if people are able to put a little bit of water in their wine, then the biggest turmoil is behind us and not before us," Aylwin said referring to the uproar the law caused while it was being debated at the National Assembly last year, notably for its invoking of the notwithstanding clause to help protect it from constitutional challenges.
