Section 21.11
Disposition versions
21.11. Where an agency of the civil administration obtains services from a legal person or an enterprise, it shall require that the services be rendered in French.
Where the services thus obtained are intended for the public, the agency shall instead require the service provider to comply with the provisions of this Act that would be applicable to the agency if the latter had itself provided the services to the public.
The application of this section to English language school boards was suspended by a decision of the Superior Court of Québec until a final judgment, except for situations where a partner or a contracting party requires the use of the official language.
