I’m curious to see how this could possibly slow the decline of French. France has the highest number of international students going to McGill compared to any other country, and this would make them reconsider moving to Quebec.
The money will be taken away from the universities. It’s unclear whether the QC government will just keep it or redistribute it to French universities.

It will do absolutely nothing to support their stated goal, but it will be great for the bottom line of universities.
