MONTREAL Small businesses in Quebec already struggling with the toll of the pandemic are worried about the government’s sweeping new reforms to the French language charter and what it will mean when they get back up and running normally again. Under Bill 96, tabled Thursday by the CAQ government, the law would enhance French-language requirements that will mean businesses with 25 to 49 employees will have to obtain French certification. Under the current charter, the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) can form a francization committee to help companies with 50 to 99 employees to help with their francization process to make French the language of business. The government hopes to expand that to more small businesses with the proposed legislation.

While experts have been calling on the province to ramp up its use of rapid COVID-19 tests, the province has said that millions of these tests have been deployed.
But federal data shows that only a small fraction have actually been used.
As of April 23, more than 7.4 million rapid antigen tests have been deployed across a number of sectors, including long-term care and retirement homes, congregate care settings, Indigenous communities, schools and workplaces, the Ministry of Health said in an emailed statement.
MONTREAL Quebec s minimum wage rose to $13.50 an hour as of Saturday, but few in the province seem happy with the change. The $0.40 increase has left minimum wage workers frustrated, saying it wasn t enough. Maxime Dmitrienko, a worker at NDG grocery store Esposito s, said the change won t change his situation. “It doesn t reflect the cost of actual living wage, especially with the cost of prices for housing and rent in big cities like Montreal and Toronto,” he said. “It doesn t reflect a living wage.” Dmitrienko said he fears the store s prices could rise to cover the wage increase, a worry echoed by his boss.
