The school is approved to admit just 5,600 full time students before facing financial penalties for each student exceeding the cap. Yates could not say how much money the school will have to pay if the government does not waive the penalty, though such a bill would only come two years from now as they run on a two year budget timeline. Though John Abbott officials learned through newspaper articles last June that the school had been approved to exceed its capacity, along with Dawson and Vanier colleges, no official communication has yet been sent to the school. And making things that much more muddled, a recent cabinet shift in Prime Minister Jean Charest's cabinet saw former Education Minister Michelle Courchesne replaced last week by Line Beauchamp. Since it was Courchesne who allegedly approved exceeding the school's capacity, John Abbott will have to wait to see where things stand with the ministry.

So far, about 150 people have signed up, though more are still needed. The parade, that will feature giant lanterns, masks, music and a carnival atmosphere, is part of the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival that kicked off this week. First, however, a practice parade will be held next Wednesday in Vaudreuil-Dorion. The town was the only non-Montreal borough chosen to participate in what is being called a satirical parade. Michel Vallée, Vaudreuil-Dorion director of arts and culture, says he thinks Vaudreuil was chosen because it has focused on promoting cultural activities that link residents with those who create and produce many forms of art. ?That is what we are all about and that's what the parade is about,? Vallée said.
