The first, "An Act to amend the Official Languages Act (Charter of the French Language)" (Bill C-482), was introduced by Bloc MP Pauline Picard. If adopted, it would have had the effect of amending the "Official Languages Act", the "Canada Labour Code", and the "Canada Business Corporations Act", to cause them to conform to the "Charter of the French Language", “effectively making the federal government French-only in the province,” according to "Maclean’s". This bill was defeated in May 2008, with Bloc and NDP MPs voting in favour and Conservative and Liberal MPs opposed.
