Ottawa Now - Will Quebec's new school rules achieve their desired outcome?

January 5, 2026

Quebec students, at all levels of learning, are now required to use formal language when addressing teachers and staff members. With this gameplan in place, the Legault government is trying to build a framework for civic responsibility, from elementary school straight into high school. Can these rule changes achieve the desired outcome? Kristy Cameron picks the brain of Julie Blais-Comeau, an Ottawa-based business etiquette specialist. She believes that the usage of formal language in the classroom will be beneficial, arguing that it also serves as an important life skill.
