This is the best summary I could come up with:


Déry framed the increase, the proceeds of which will go into government coffers, as a way to balance the funding of English and French universities in the province.

Nearly a third of the students who attend Bishop's are from outside the province, the university's principal and vice-chancellor, Sébastien Lebel-Grenier, said earlier this week.

In an email response to CBC News Wednesday, McGill's media relations office confirmed it had postponed announcing a $50 million investment over five years "to enable more people from its community to learn or improve their French."

The university was alerted a few days ahead of Déry's tuition hike announcement that changes were coming that could affect the school's financial situation but was not informed what those changes would be, according to the email, which was unsigned.

"Finding the initial funding for McGill's investment in the promotion of the French language was extremely difficult," it wrote.

I think we're missing the point here and it's hitting hard and strong the representation of the city of Montreal as the metropolis of Quebec."
