The Task Force on Linguistic Policy receives no financial government support. However, we are compelled to create a series of television ads to counter these disparaging depictions, and need your help to pay for production and airing costs.

Bill 96 will allow Quebec officials:
- To have access to your medical or psychological records and other confidential documents without your consent and without even notifying you.*
- The right to enter any place, other than a house, where an activity is carried out or any other place where documents or other property to which this Act applies may be held.*
- Examine, copy and seize any document or electronic device of a client, employee or owner at a business.*
- Enter your hotel room, your car, and ask you to give them access to your phone and laptop.*
- Inspections can even take place pre-emptively if they think you are about to break the law but have not yet done so. Reporting potential future violations is encouraged!*
- Prevents all quebecers from deciding what schools they want to send their children to.*
- If you don't comply, you can be fined between $700 and $90,000.*
- Ignores and completely bypasses the Quebec Charter of Rights and the Canadian Charter, which means you may have no legal recourse to fight it once it is passed.*
- Increased costs for businesses in Quebec*

Language Equality is Under Threat in Canada
The use of provincial and national notwithstanding clauses will suppress basic human rights for all Quebecers in extreme and illegitimate ways at home, at school, the workplace and in their commercial transactions.
To make matters even worse, the federal government has confirmed that Quebec can, on its own without using Constitution’s pre-established amending formula, amend Canada’s Constitution to declare itself a nation, that Quebecers are a nation, and that French is its only “official” and common language.
The proposed unilateral Constitutional amendment is, in itself, unconstitutional and ill-advised public policy that will affect other aspects of the Canadian Constitution.
Quebecers, Francophones, Anglophones, Allophones, and all Canadians can stand united for equal and official bilingualism.
Logic, fact, morality and the law are on our side.
