As Quebec language laws come for music instruments, minister says he ‘may be open’ to bending the rules
Description
May 9, 2025
Quebec retailers have been scrambling to stay in tune with the province's new language regulations under Bill 96. Many working in the musical instrument industry are on edge. They say they've done all they can to comply with the law, but there are some things that are simply out of their control. This comes as the language minister said this week he may be open to bending the rules. As Felicia Parrillo reports, many still wonder what it will mean for their business.
