C-11 - Charter of the French language
Section 21.7
Disposition versions
21.7. An agency of the civil administration is required to make available a French version of any part of a contract or written document drawn up only in another language under section 21.5 or 21.6 to the members of its personnel whose functions require them to examine that part of such a contract or written document.
The first paragraph does not apply to members of the agency’s personnel who participate in the negotiation or drawing up of such a contract or document.
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.
