Bill 96 is a law passed by the Quebec government in May 2022, officially known as "An Act respecting French, the official and common language of Quebec". The purpose of Bill 96 is to protect and strengthen French as the official language within the province. The original language law, Bill 101, put the French language at the heart of business, education, and commerce operations in Quebec, and Bill 96 expands further with added areas for compliance and the addition of penalties for non-compliance. The law has several implications for businesses operating in the province, including requirements for French translation of content and communications, restrictions on communications with the provincial government in languages other than French, and French-language requirements for certain contracts. The law also extends jurisdiction to any company with 25 or more employees, as well as any company soliciting business in Quebec, regardless of the location of their primary headquarters. The law faces several legal challenges, including one filed at the Montreal courthouse. Several sections of Bill 96 already came into force in June 2022, but adoption will be staggered based on the size of the company, with businesses in Quebec with 25 or more employees needing to comply with the Francization requirement by June 1, 2025.
