When the regulations on the use of French in federally regulated private businesses are adopted, it will set everything in motion, and the UFPBA will be in force. At that point, all federally regulated private businesses will be subject to the UFPBA. Indeed, they can make the choice. The regulations were drafted in a way that allows them to choose whether they want to be subject to the charter, but they don't have the option to opt out of the UFPBA. The federal legislation must be complied with once it comes into force.
