Charter of the French Language

The Charter of the French Language, also known as Bill 101, is a law in Quebec that emphasizes the use of French as the official and dominant language of the province. It ensures that government services, business operations, and education primarily use French. The Charter promotes the use of French in the workplace and limits the use of other languages to protect and strengthen Quebec’s French-speaking culture. It also regulates the language of signage and commercial advertising. Overall, it aims to maintain French as the core language of Quebec society while respecting linguistic rights.
