(Val-d’Or, Laval and Thetford Mines) The new captain of the Montreal Canadiens, Nick Suzuki, must learn French, believe the leaders of Quebec’s political parties. The question of the protection of French has also been the subject of ink since the start of the campaign.

“Yes, he has to learn it,” replied Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, in a press scrum Monday in Val-d’Or.
“Simply because being captain of the Canadiens means creating a link with an entire population that has offered its unconditional support to this club for generations. What does it cost to take French lessons and evolve towards functional French? […] What a positive difference! “, supported the leader of the PQ, who believes that the number 14 embodies “renewal and the new generation of hockey players”.
The 23-year-old hockey player becomes the youngest player to hold this position. His appointment was announced during the traditional golf tournament launching the new season.
The leader of the Coalition avenir Québec had difficulty hiding his joy at being able to talk about hockey on Monday rather than explaining his controversial remarks on immigration.
“I think it’s a great choice. Nick Suzuki is the best player with Cole Caufield. There, we agree. Well, Mr. Price is having a hard time, he’s on the last few miles. So I think he’s a great choice, Nick Suzuki. On the other hand, he will have to learn French, ”argued François Legault, during a press scrum in Laval.
The leader of the Liberal Party of Quebec also believes that the new captain must learn the language of Molière. “I think everyone who comes to Quebec should learn French. […] It would indeed be a good thing” for him to learn French, said Dominique Anglade during a press scrum in Thetford Mines.
According to Paul St-Pierre Plamondon also believes that Nick Suzuki “is a very good choice” and he seems to have “the personality of a person who will have that effect” of learning French.
