There is a definitely a danger, and it has been around for a long time. We have demonstrated that the level of services and communications in French was very much inadequate in the community. It is true that the role played by the federal government with the territorial government was too understated. The laisser-faire policy of trusting the other level of government did not work, as the courts have shown and as the Supreme Court will demonstrate in a few years.
There is a problem. Very little or no progress is being made in developing communication and services in French. We are facing a great threat: assimilation is growing at the rate of 63%, and we have no effective plan in place to counter this phenomenon.
