\nQuebec politicians discriminate against people with disabilities, when they put promoting language ahead of helping the handicapped, St. J\u00e9r\u00f4me riding\u2019s representative in Quebec City told fellow legislators, March 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cArticle 10 of the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms stipulates that we must overcome any circumstance when someone suffers from a disability,\u201d Jacques Duchesneau said, while depositing a petition signed by 709 Quebec citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedical science has demonstrated that technical or human assistance can help people with language difficulties, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and dyslexia to overcome their deficiencies,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever many people with such disabilities are denied such help or technical support on the pretext that they have to prove their skill at French expression or because it\u2019s perceived that doing so would lower standards or grant them a privilege that would be unfair to other students.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is extremely prejudicial to people with disabilities,\u201d Duchesneau asserted, \u201cwhich qualifies as discrimination, in violation of Article 10 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Quebec.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called for the Parti qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois government to reconcile the rights of the disabled with its wish to protect the French language.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Quebec citizens, we are calling for Article 35 of the Charter of the French Language to be amended to specify that the quality of French expression can be demonstrated by means of technical support,\u201d Duchesneau demanded, \u201cwhen a disability would lead to a shortcoming in school or in the workplace, for example.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n
