The Quebec government has always tried to protect its language and safeguard it from the rising impact and usage of the English language. The government has managed to formulate and implement various language policies, The Quebecois de la Langue Francaise (Quebec Board of the French language) to protect the language, managed to pick a fight with one of the famous restaurants with rich celebrity clientele. 

 

After an anonymous complaint, a restaurant named Buonanotte received a letter from the board stating that the establishment had broken the law by including words like Pasta and bottigla, i.e., bottle in Italian and not Bouteille, i.e., bottle in French. 

 

Owner of the restaurant, Massimo Lecas took to social media by posting the issued letter online, opening a forum for debate if the accusations on him were justified. His post managed to create a stir and forced the Quebec government to reign its inspectors to make exceptions with the rules and review on how it handles public complaints. 

 

The post also gave a platform to various other restaurant owners to come forward and talk about their encounter with the government. The government has, however, proposed new laws to establish French as the principal language. Mandating the use of French in the workplace, denying official bilingual status to the municipal corporations and small-scale businesses and restricting English post-secondary college level.
