Notes
1. Since 2008, there has been an acceleration in imposing Quebec's language laws, including mandatory dubbing of films, or subtitles for smaller films, where the original language is any language other than French. "We will ask the (American) studios to explain to us how we can ensure, without resorting to a law, that Quebec citizens have access to versions dubbed into French in Quebec"
