MONTREAL — A Montreal college is facing $30 million in fines from the Quebec government for having too many students in its English-language programs.

LaSalle College says the fines threaten the survival of the 65-year-old bilingual institution.

The Quebec government imposed limits on the number of students who can be enrolled in English-language college programs as part of a new language law passed in 2022.

It says LaSalle College is the only private subsidized college that has not respected the quotas.
