Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Nov, 2014 11:10 AM

    QUEBEC — French President Francois Hollande is continuing his trip to Canada with visits today to Quebec City and Montreal.

    Hollande addressed the national assembly this morning and spoke of the historic ties between Quebec and his country.

    He said the one word that can sum up the relationship between the province and France is "unique."

    He will be in Montreal this afternoon to visit a digital arts centre.

    On Monday, Hollande was in Ottawa, where he served notice he wants to see Canada taking an active role in helping the world achieve a major climate change agreement well in advance of a summit he will host in Paris in December 2015.
