As they head back to the classroom, Quebec’s students are going to have to get used to a brand-new rule change.

Heidi Yetman, the President of the Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers, is skeptical that these changes are going to deliver a significant shift. She joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
