Quebec language policy

Quebec’s language policy emphasizes protecting and promoting French as the province’s official language. It requires that government services, education, and business communications primarily be in French. The policy aims to preserve Quebec’s French-speaking identity amid a predominantly English-speaking North America. While respecting individual rights, it encourages maintaining French as the common language for economic, cultural, and social cohesion. The policy also includes laws to support French-language education and workplace use, ensuring that French remains vital in daily life while allowing limited use of other languages when appropriate.
