Quebec will fight
language ruling

QUEBEC (CP) — The
Quebec government intends
togoto the Supreme Court of
Canada for a decision on the
‘constitutionality of a section
‘of the Quebec ge law
‘making French the primary
language of courts, a
jspokesman for Justice
Minister ‘Marc-Andre
Bedard said Monday.

The _ statement
Bedard's office came
following a Quebec Court of
Appeal’ decision earlier in’
the day upholding a lower-.
court judgment that Chapter’
3 of the French Language
Charter contradicted ar-
ticles of the British North
‘America Act.

The appeal court judges—
five French-speaking and
two English-speakng—were
unanimous in rejecting
argumente by Quebec

- government lawyers who

‘wanted to strike down a
judgment rendered Jan. 24
y Chief Justice Jules
Deschenes of Quebec
Superior Court.

The court upheld the argu-
ments of three Montreal law-
yeré, Peter Blaikie, Roland
Durand and Yolne Goldstein,
who maintained that the
language law conflicted with
a section of the BNA Act
declaring French and
English as the languages of
the courts and the Quebec
legislature.

The spokesman for Bedard
said even though that vital
section of the language law
was ruled unconstitutional,
all parts of the law will
remaln in effect pending the
Supreme Court appeal.
