Quebec Bill 96 Content Scoping Checklist: What Is In Scope, and Who Owns It?

Find the Rows Nobody Owns.

Bill 96 gaps are rarely a decision. They are almost always an assumption: marketing assumed packaging had it, packaging assumed legal had it, and nobody had it. The content in scope spans packaging and product documentation, websites and commerce, contracts and invoices, signage, in-product strings, and everything a Quebec employee reads, which means it sits with six teams who have never been in the same room about it.

The Quebec Bill 96 Content Scoping Checklist is a worksheet rather than a brochure. It takes about twenty minutes on your own, or one working session with the content owners, and it ends with a number: how many rows came back with no name against them.

What is inside the Bill 96 Content Scoping Checklist:

• Every content type, referenced. Four sections covering product and packaging, digital and commerce, contracts and signage, and workplace and HR, with each item referenced to where the requirement comes from.
• The owner column. Space to record who keeps each item current. Most teams find this is the column that changes the conversation, because a row with no owner reopens after you close it.
• A risk tier you set yourself. Three questions on visibility, consequence and permanence, so you spend on human verification where the exposure actually sits rather than paying one rate for everything.
• The order journey. A page that walks a single Quebec order end to end, from the shipping page through checkout, tracking, what ships in the box and returns. It catches the transactional content a website audit misses entirely.
