official language appropriate to the office applied for is required.

For the application of the preceding paragraph, each agency of the civil administration shall establish criteria and
procedures of verification and submit them to the Office québécois de la langue française for approval, failing which
the Office may establish them itself. If the Office considers the criteria and procedures unsatisfactory, it may either
request the agency concerned to modify them or establish them itself.

This section does not apply to bodies or institutions recognized under section 29.1 which implement the measures
approved by the Office according to the third paragraph of section 23.

safety.

The Government may, however, determine by regulation the cases, conditions or circumstances in which the civil
administration may use French and another language in signs and posters.
