The Quebec government is proposing an increase in tuition fees for international and out-of-province students attending English-language universities as a way to protect the French language.

I’m curious to see how this could possibly slow the decline of French. France has the highest number of international students going to McGill compared to any other country, and this would make them reconsider moving to Quebec.
It will do absolutely nothing to support their stated goal, but it will be great for the bottom line of universities.
The money will be taken away from the universities. It’s unclear whether the QC government will just keep it or redistribute it to French universities.
