  Bill 101
Bill 101, Charte de la langue française (1977), marked the culmination of a debate that had produced BILL 63 (1969) and BILL 22 (1974).
After publishing a White Paper on the subject (1977), it introduced Bill 1, which was strongly supported by nationalist and union groups among others, and was just as sharply opposed by management circles and the province's anglophone population.
The bill was withdrawn because of pressure from the Liberal opposition and reappeared as Bill 101.

The effect of such a clause was to accelerate the rate of integration of the rapidly increasing population of allophones to the anglophone group and, thus, to potentially threaten the position of dominance of French in Quebec, especially in the context of the rapidly diminishing birth rate of francophones in the province.
The passing of Bill 63 was instrumental in the defeat of the Union Nationale government at the polls in 1970 and in the demise of that party from the political landscape of Quebec.
Bill 22 came sharply under attack from extremists on both sides of the language barrier, some francophones arguing that it did not go far enough in the protection and the promotion of French, while many anglophones felt that it went much too far.

 BlogsCanada: E-Group - Supreme Court to rule on Bill 101
Bill 101 is intended to protect the use of French in Quebec, in particular by restricting English-language education in public schools to children of Canadian anglophones.
Bill 101, which included provisions requiring immigrants to send their children to French-language schools and requiring major businesses (with more than 50 employees) to allow their employees to work in French, as well as the controversial prohibition of English on commercial signs, was passed in 1977.
According to Richards, Bill 101 was a major reason for the defeat of the separatists in the 1980 referendum: Quebec francophones felt that Bill 101 provided sufficient protection for the French language.

The intense discontent which resulted from the passing of this bill led to the appointment of the Gendron Commission to study the status of the French language in Quebec and, in 1974, to the passing of the Loi sur la langue officielle (Bill 22).
The passing of Bill 63 was instrumental in the defeat of the Union Nationale government at the polls in 1970 and in the demise of that party from the political landscape of Quebec.

The National Campaign does not support the farm bill that has passed the House and Senate because we feel the huge subsidies for the biggest farming and factory livestock operations are glaring examples of corporate welfare policy that will hurt farm and ranch communities and is not in our true national interest.
The new Farm Bill provides for a total payment cap of $450,000 per producer - regardless of the number of farms or the number of conservation contracts - over the six-year life of the new legislation.
Once an agricultural bill such as the Farm Bill is signed into law, it does not automatically mean that all the programs that are part of the bill will be funded.

Alternatively, the provisions of a bill may be attached to a larger “omnibus” bill on a similar topic.
Another important factor that dictates a bill’s ability to move is whether the committee in which it is reported imposes a deadline by which bills must be reported out.
If a bill does not move out before the deadline, regardless of the length of the legislative session, it is essentially dead for the year.

 Why we need Bill 101
In fact, prior to Bill 101, more than 80 per cent of immigrants to Quebec integrated into the anglophone minority of the province, seen as a stepping stone to an English-speaking continent.
Quebec's law should be seen as all the more legitimate since, as a means to protect French, it does not suppress but recognizes the right of parents of the anglophone minority the right to send their children to either French or English schools.
In fact, anglophone parents are alone in enjoying this right, since under Bill 101, free choice of school systems before the post-secondary level has been taken away from parents of the francophone majority in order to take it away from immigrants who share the rights of that majority.
