Editing Charter of the French Language (section)

===Civil administration===
The government departments and agencies are designated by their French name alone, and all administrative documents are drafted and published in that official language. All communications by the administration with other governments and legal persons, between departments and internally inside departments, are conducted in the official language.

A person must have knowledge of the official language appropriate to the office for which he or she is applying.

A non-official language may be used on signs and posters of the administration, but only for health or public safety reasons.<ref>[http://www.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/english/charter/title1chapter4.html The Charter of the French Language – Title I – Chapter IV] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061125003237/http://www.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/english/charter/title1chapter4.html |date=November 25, 2006 }}, on the Web site of the {{lang|fr|i=no|Office québécois de la langue française}}.
