Recent update on this older story....Government fines at $2500 CAN per incident as of October 2005. Have personal knowledge (buddy in Canada) that its happening today.
Question.....Since when did Canadian Government start to control web content?

Does the fine also apply if they have a French site but no English site?

We can all look forward to mandates on Spanish-language versions here.
It's just a matter of time...

This is a Quebec Gov't issue.... They'll stop at nothing to protect the French language in Canada. If you want to do business in Quebec, you better speak the language.

Quebec has some of the most draconian language laws in the world. They do not just require signage in French, which makes sense, they restrict or prohibit it in English or any other language.

I work for a service company that does business in Canada and Quebec. Any paper reports that we produce in Quebec have to be in French for select clients. I would imagine this is nothing more than an extension of this existing legislation.

It's like those French have a different word for everything.
