According to Bill 14 an act to amend the charter of the french language you can now expect: Page 15 of Bill 14 “88.0.1. Educational institutions that provide instruction in French or English at the preschool, elementary school, secondary school or college levels, and the Ministers responsible for those levels of education must, according to their respective jurisdictions, take reasonable steps to ensure that the persons attending those institutions receive training designed to make them sufficiently proficient in French upon completing their education to interact and flourish in Québec society, and participate in its development. Page 16 of Bill 14 “88.0.2. No secondary school diploma may be issued to a student who does not have the knowledge of spoken and written French required by the programs of the Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports. “88.0.3. No diploma of college studies may be issued to a student domiciled in Québec who does not have the knowledge of spoken and written French required by the programs of the Minister of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology. Page 25 of Bill 14 “174. A person authorized to act under section 166 may, at any reasonable time, for the purpose of ascertaining compliance with this Act and regulations, visit any place where an activity governed by this Act is carried on. The person must, on request, identify himself or herself and show the operator of the place visited for the purposes of this Title a certificate of capacity. “175. As part of an inspection, a person acting under section 166 may (1) examine any products or goods in the place visited and any thing used in relation to the labelling, display, promotion or sale of products or goods; (2) verify whether signs are in compliance with requirements; (3) take measurements; (4) require the production of any book, account, record, file or other document for examination or for the purpose of making copies or extracts, the person has reasonable grounds to believe that they contain information relating to the carrying out of this Act or the regulations; and (5) take photographs of the place visited and the equipment, goods products on the premises, or make recordings. “175.1. The Office may, for the purposes of this chapter, require any person to produce, within the time it specifies, any relevant document information. “175.2. The operator of a place undergoing an inspection is required give the person authorized to act under section 166 reasonable assistance carrying out the inspection. “175.3. DURING THE COURSE OF AN INSPECTION, THE PERSON AUTHORIZED TO ACT AS AN INSPECTOR MAY SEIZE ANYTHING WHICH HE OR SHE BELIEVES ON REASONABLE GROUNDS MAY PROVE THE COMMISSION OF AN OFFENCE UNDER THIS ACT OR THE REGULATIONS. The rules established by Division IV of Chapter III of the Code of Penal Procedure (chapter C-25.1) apply, with the necessary modifications, to things seized.” 52. Section 177 of the Charter is replaced by the following section: “177. If the Office is of the opinion that this Act or a regulation under this Act has been contravened, it shall refer the matter to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions so that appropriate penal proceedings may be instituted where required.” As an after thought to these new amendments Francophones will not have to take the SAME FRENCH EXAMS as ANGLOPHONES. WHY NOT? I would also be very concerned with paragraph #175.3 with seizures of your property etc. Let your nightmare begin if BILL 14 is passed.
