Mathew,

The "Consumer Packaging and Labeling Act" which requires English and French
markings for products marketed to consumers is available at
http://strategis.ic.gc.ca.

I found this website when I was trying to determine if our products (I.T.E.
for commercial use only) needed labeling in English and French. I was happy
to find out this Act only applies to consumer goods, so our products are
exempt. According to the document "Guide to the Consumer Packaging and
Labeling Act and Regulations" (also available at this web site) you can also
contact the nearest office of Industry Canada, Fair Business Practices
Branch for additional information. 

Hope this helps.

        Where can I find the language requirements for Canada? Is there a
website
        that would have the legal documentation on it? 

        Is it true that all product markings must be in french, and english
to be
        sold in Quebec?
