On May 24, 2022, Bill 96, An Act respecting French, the official and common language of Québec (Bill 96), which amends the Charter of the French Language (Charter), was adopted by Quebec’s National Assembly. Bill 96 aims to promote the French language and affirm its status as Quebec’s only official language.
In this presentation, our speakers will address the main amendments to the Charter that pertain to employers’ obligations in Quebec. They will also discuss the significant changes employers may need to make to their existing practices and policies to ensure their compliance with these new legal obligations.
