A Quebec dentist has had his
licence renewal refused after failing a French-language
test, a practice one lawyer is calling "hopelessly unconstitutional."
"I have many French speaking patients and have no problem
communicating with them," Dr. Mahmoud Raisi, an Iranian immigrant, told
CTV Newsnet.
"I am in the process of negotiating and discussing with
my lawyers."
Raisi has been working in Aylmer, now part of Gatineau,
Quebec for more than four years and has built up a client list of more
than 2,000. He speaks fluent French, English, Spanish and Persian.
But after the dentist failed a French-language writing
test for the third time, his clients were handed over to colleagues.
"I
don't know a dentist personally
who writes his letters, in any given language," he said.
