STM defends stance on Quebec's language laws - Montreal - CBC News

Montreal's transit corporation is defending its interpretation of Quebec's language laws, saying it cannot force its ticket takers to serve customers in any language other than French.
The vice-chair of the transit corporation (STM), Marvin Rotrand, said the corporation has its hands tied with regards to Bill 101, unless services in English are proven to be essential.
"Basically, we have to operate in French unless we can prove an absolute necessity in certain categories," said Rotrand.
