People's Alliance Holding Public Meeting Tonight On Bilingualism Discrimination

The People's Alliance Party of New Brunswick is partnering with a St. Stephen woman in sounding the alarm on the Official Languages Act.

Joyce Wright says she is concerned how the Act is affecting Charlotte County in striving to provide a 50% bilingual workforce in every provincial place of employment.

Wright says this doesn't make sense for Charlotte County where almost 92% of the population is English only.
Wright says everyone deserves the right to be served in the language of their choice -- but there are other ways of accomplishing it -- like using technology, instead of denying jobs to English-only people.

The People's Alliance Party will be hosting a public meeting tonight at Wright's home in Heathland.
The address is 14 Family Lane in Heathland, just past the Hall Road and the Ambulance NB Bay.

The meeting gets underway at 7pm.
