QUEBEC- As the Quebec Election Campaign enters its final week, the focus could switch back to the student protests that dominated the headlines earlier this year.  

On Monday, classes resume at many Quebec universities and there’s talk that picket lines will go up outside classes where student associations have voted to continue their boycott.

Jeremie Bedard-Wien, a spokesman for Classe, the most militant of the student associations, says there won’t be any blockades outside the entrances to universities.

Quebec’s emergency law, Bill 78, prohibits blocking a classroom and it sets fines for anyone who does so.  

The vast majority of Quebec students have returned from their strikes, but Classe says more than 36-thousand students remain on strike.
