In 1997, Yeomans commented that he would eventually change Dorval's street and traffic signs to conform with Quebec's Charter of the French Language but did not regard this as a priority.Ann Carroll, "Dorval in no hurry to change signs, mayor says," Montreal Gazette, 10 July 1997, F9. Three years later, when the Parti Québécois (PQ) passed a resolution urging the government of Quebec to restrict municipalities from flying the Canadian flag, Yeomans said that he would disobey any government edict to this effect.Elizabeth Thompson and Irwin Block, "PQ wants Maple Leaf off public flagpoles," Montreal Gazette, 7 February 2000, A1.
