In Quebecois French, the English word "email" translates into "courriel".

In France, the French translate the English word "email" as ... "email".

But to answer SmartA$$ George's question, the following snippet from the  
introduction to the French version of the document at the CMHC website :

"Cette édition de Construction de maison à ossature de bois – Canada a été  
mise à jour pour tenir compte des exigences du Code national du bâtiment –  
Canada 2010 (CNB) concernant les habitations, y compris les nouvelles  
exigences d’efficacité énergétique contenues dans les révisions et errata  
de 2012 au CNB de 2010. Cela dit, l'ouvrage ne saurait se substituer au  
CNB ni aux codes du bâtiment en vigueur dans une localité donnée. On  
invite le lecteur à se reporter aux codes, aux normes et à tout autre  
règlement visant les bâtiments résidentiels appliqué dans sa province, son  
territoire, sa région ou sa municipalité."

Moi ?  I'm heading out with my Quebecois mutt "Zhoq!" (translated from his  
given French name "Jack"), a saddle back Siberian born near Val des Monts  
Quebec, to do some snowshoeing around a nearby lake on the new-fallen snow  
that came last night. I dare George (or "Georges" in French) to ask what  
the Inuit word is for "snow".
