Grey assisted in annulling a stipulation in the Charte de la Langue Française (Bill 101) that forbade the application of different languages on business signboards. Presently, French must merely be the main language but others are allowed. [http://thesuburban.com/content.jsp?sid=52587912049037406013812429691&ctid=1000000&cnid=1012582]
