The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) is issuing the following statement in regard to the passage of the Coalition Avenir Quebec's (CAQ) Bill 96 - An Act respecting French, the official and common language of Quebec, by the Quebec National Assembly on Tuesday.
The MCK is not taken by surprise by the widespread support that was given by the CAQ to Bill 96 yesterday in the National Assembly. Quebec has, once again, made decisions that are willfully misinformed and ignorant and of which failed to appropriately consult or meaningfully consider the countless efforts brought forth by Indigenous Peoples to have their concerns heard. Any legislation that has adverse effects on Indigenous self-determination for their lands, cultures, and languages should have the free, prior, and informed consent of our communities. The lack of engagement in such a framework where the outcomes knowingly affect our rights not only is a detriment to our ability to co-exist with our neighbors; it is a deliberate attack on our nationhood as Onkwehón:we (original people).
The MSI Wage Subsidy Program was created to help employees who have suffered a work-related injury but can’t return to their original job. The program supports injured workers to re-train for a new occupation and get a new career on track. Employers can benefit by getting a subsidy for placing a trained worker, back into the work force!
