The Act to implement court rulings on the language of instruction, commonly known as Act 115, is an amending act introduced by the Charest government in Quebec.[Notes 1][Notes 2] This legislation modifies the Charter of the French Language in response to the Supreme Court of Canada's ruling in Nguyen v. Quebec.[1]

Act 115 assigns the responsibility to the Conseil des ministres to define the conditions under which a child may access subsidized English-language schools in Quebec, with the primary criterion being attendance at an unsubsidized English-language school for three years or more.[1]
