Right now, I would say that question is related to the amendment to Part IV of the Official Languages Act. To date, we've used the first official language spoken as a criterion. Moreover, there are people who believe that we shouldn't be concerned with statistics, that we should instead simply stick to the communities, to the schools, etc. Unfortunately, this question is often based on statistics and depends on the figures we use for the census. Of course, we could consider everyone living outside Quebec who is able to speak French; there are nearly 2.5 million of them. However, are they necessarily likely to request services in French?
