Thank you for your question.
We've observed that the increase in the proportion of people who report themselves as being bilingual has increased, at least up until 2001. As for anglophones in Quebec, I mentioned the proportion of those who report being able to speak two languages went from 66% in 2001 to 69% in 2006. I mentioned that the proportion of anglophones in Quebec who report being bilingual has been on the rise at least since 1971, and the increase is significant and important.
Outside Quebec it's fairly stable, although I'm talking about anglophones or non-francophones, or those who don't have French as their mother tongue. The proportion of those who report being bilingual went from 7.1% in 2001 to 7.4% in 2006. It's fairly stable at around 7% for anglophones in general and around 5% for those who don't have French or English as their mother tongue.
The problem is that we're not able to explain what happened to francophones. We've observed a decrease in the proportion of francophones reporting themselves as being bilingual, a slight decrease during the last five years.
