Bill 1: Québec Constitution Act, 2025

This bill is primarily a constitutional and political document rather than a direct business regulation, so its day-to-day impact on most Quebec businesses is indirect. However, companies operating in Quebec — particularly those in natural resources, land development, construction, or any sector interacting with Indigenous territories — may face new legal obligations or negotiation requirements stemming from the formal recognition of Indigenous nations' self-determination and collective rights. Businesses in any industry dealing with language compliance (signage, contracts, customer service) should note the reaffirmation of French as the sole official language, though English minority rights are acknowledged. Public-sector contractors and organizations providing services subject to Quebec's secularism rules may also see those requirements constitutionally entrenched, affecting hiring and workplace conduct policies.
