Bill 2: An Act to enable the Parliament of Québec to preserve the principle of parliamentary sovereignty with respect to the Charter of the French language and the Act respecting French, the official and common language of Québec

This bill affects businesses operating in Quebec — particularly those in retail, hospitality, professional services, and any sector with employees or customer-facing operations — who must comply with Quebec's French language requirements under Bill 101 and the 2022 updates (Bill 96). Whether you run a small shop in Montreal, manage a team in a mid-sized company, or operate as a solo professional, rules around French signage, contracts, workplace communications, and customer service continue to apply and are now insulated from constitutional challenge. Businesses with anglophone or allophone employees or customers are most directly touched, as the language-of-work and service requirements remain firmly in place. The bill does not introduce new obligations but ensures existing ones cannot be struck down on rights grounds during this renewed period.
