The major challenge for us has been to convince the managers of certain government organizations — such as the Service Canada Centre — to assign a Franco-Ontarian to the reception desk. You will probably say that I am looking after my own interests here. But I don't believe that a Franco-Ontarian is any better than an Anglo-Ontarian. On the other hand, I know for a fact if a Francophone is not greeted in French, he will immediately switch to English, because what he is ultimately looking for is an answer. In some cases, this individual may already be partly assimilated.
That is easy to do and doesn't cost much. All I'm asking is that at all reception points, the first contact generally be handled by someone from the minority. In that way, Francophones who arrive at the reception will tend to want to express themselves in the same language. That is what I think. People often say in Ontario that French is learned but that English is caught. Don't worry about the Anglophones; they will be served in their own language. Furthermore, the rate of assimilation in the other direction is infinitesimal.
