Bill 101 (Charter of the French Language)

Bill 101, also known as the Charter of the French Language, is a law in Quebec, Canada, established in 1977 to promote and protect the French language. It mandates that French be the official language of the province, especially in government, education, and the workplace. The law requires businesses to operate primarily in French, ensuring that public services and signage are also in the language. Its goal is to foster a francophone culture and ensure that the French language thrives in a predominantly English-speaking North America.
