All THREE Operas for as little as BOX OFFICE NOW OPEN Bv The Canadian Press QUEBEC (CP) The usual handful of spectators at hearings of the legislature committee on language was swollen Thursday-night by ministers, other members of the national assembly and friends. It was almost standing-room-only in the Red Room of the assembly, where groups and individuals have been presenting views on Quebec's proposed language law for the last five weeks. There was a feeling the government was about to pull the plug on the hearings and move on to second reading of the bill that is intended to establish a unilingual French Quebec. Expectations that the hearings would end were fuelled by Premier Rene Levesque.

who said earlier in the day that a reprinted version of the law with "very substantial" amendments would be introduced Tuesday. Another indication was the presence of the PQ's deputy House Leader Claude Charron. who seemed like the proverbial "hit-man" as he took a seat at the hearings for the first time since they began. The committee heard one brief, that of Quebec's Grand Council of Crees, before launching into a battle of motions. But it adjourned at 1 1 p.m.

without discussing the possibility of ending the hearings. Cree representative Ted Moses spoke in French and Cree to the committee but the bulk of his remarks were in English and committee members asked their questions in English. There were outbursts of name calling and insults that have left committee witnesses bemused, but committee members retained their composure most of the time. At one point Cultural Affairs Minister Louis O'Neill told Therese La-voie-Roux to "shut up." and called her Liberal party "le parti des anglais" the party of the English.
