Quebec's language laws, primarily the Charter of the French Language (Bill 101) and subsequent amendments, establish requirements for French usage that significantly affect municipalities. These laws require French predominance on commercial and public signage, municipal services to be delivered in French, and communications to be primarily in French. Municipalities with significant English-speaking populations may provide some bilingual services under specific conditions. Bill 96 (2022) strengthened French language requirements. Language laws affect everything from street signs to municipal websites to customer service. Compliance with language requirements is monitored by the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF).
