Canada s Quebec province has unveiled sweeping legislation aimed at curbing the decline of the French language, particularly in Montreal where businesses are using more and more English.
The bill is a revamp of a 1977 law, reaffirming French as Quebec s main language and promoting its use locally on signage, in education and in workplaces. The French language is in decline across parts of our society, Simon Jolin-Barrette, Quebec minister responsible for the French language, said at the bill s unveiling.
The updated law, he said, affirms that French is the only official language in Quebec and the common language of the Quebec nation .
