The main point I want to make is that the Official Languages Act completely ignores French Quebec. This committee was created by that act and we want to see its work continue. French in Quebec, as well as outside of Quebec, cannot continue to decline.
Before the Official Languages Act, 6% of francophones lived outside Quebec. Today, outside Quebec, just over 3% of people have French as their mother tongue and 2.1% have French as their home language.
