I can’t get over how stupid and overreaching the provincial law is in regulating what languages can be spoken in health care settings. Some hospitals have multilingual staff and patients. In the past, if they had, for example, an elderly patient who only spoke mandarin, they would assign them with the nurse who spoke mandarin (when possible). This seemed like the safe, kind and effective way to work. Now this is ILLEGAL?!? How can this be? Why would you choose the moment people are so vulnerable to give them a language lesson? I think it’s unethical to follow this law. 

 Who will know if you don’t follow it?
Most probably nothing happens. Unless you have some snitches 

 Language inspectors visited a couple hospitals, but it seems like so far they visited areas with no patients and took issue with things like plaques on the wall not being in French. 

I think the only real threat of “getting caught” is, as you said, from snitches. 

 Language inspectors 🙄
How much is this costing the taxpayer… 

 603 million over 5 years (for the various incentives to promote French, not just the inspectors).
