OQLF rules still not uniformly followed
Some storefront businesses are still failing to make French pre‑eminent on their signage and façades.

I have always though that the OQLF sending their own inspectors to verify that businesses offer (greetings/service in french, predominant signage in French, French language on receipts and terminals) is like giving the OK to the mechanic at Canadian Tire to go ahead and fix what he feels needs to be fixed on your car. Their completed reports are always thorough, organized, and easy-to-read…..often a sign that the writer(s) have/has had more than enough time to create the document.
