A newly elected Ontario Progressive Conservative MPP has denounced her party’s decision to scrap the province’s French Language Services Commissioner position and a plan to build a French-language university.
“The decisions made last week concerning the Office of the Commissioner and the Franco-Ontarian University disappoint me greatly,” Amanda Simard said in a French-language Facebook post Wednesday evening.
