Before the moment England took control of the Canada there wasn’t any protective law because there wasn’t a need to.

Protection measures appeared after that

I'm responding to "tried to eradicate the French spoken there". When they took over, I'm pretty sure they agreed to the French language and Catholicism from the very beginning. They didn't try to eradicate it. Protection didn't come from failed eradication attempts, protection was agreed to from the start.
