The Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) (English: Quebec Board of the French Language) is a public organization established on March 24, 1961 by the Liberal government of Jean Lesage.

Mr. Lesage's face became even redder. He started to lose his balance. He would certainly have fallen off the stage if my sister had not reached up with both her arms and caught him. He resumed his balance.
I don't remember what he said. But, yes. I remember Jean Lesage very well.
