What is a long-term impact of Bill 101 on Quebec?

• A. It made Quebec bilingual in all domains.
• B. It limits Francophone and immigrant choice; may cause some to move.
• C. It strengthened English-language dominance across Québec.
• D. It had no lasting impact.

Answer: (B)

The long-term impact being tested is how language policy shapes people’s options and where they choose to live. Bill 101 established French as the dominant language for government, business, schooling, and public services in many contexts in Quebec. Over time, this reduced access to English-language schooling and English-language services for newcomers and for the English-speaking minority, meaning Francophones and immigrants often had fewer choices in practice when it came to education, work, or daily life that used English. Because some people desired English-language opportunities or freedom of use in English, a number decided to move to elsewhere in Canada where English options remained more readily available. That’s why the best answer describes it as limiting Francophone and immigrant choice and potentially prompting some people to relocate. The other statements don’t fit, since the policy did not make Quebec bilingual in all domains, did not strengthen English dominance, and it did have lasting effects beyond the short term.
