Do anglophones in Quebec realize that, even though francophones are the majority in Quebec, we need to defend the French language because we are threatened as a result of being entirely surrounded by anglophones? I think that they should understand this.
I want to turn now to the table on page 4, which deals with francophones outside Quebec. Older people have continued to use French but they have not necessarily passed it on to their children, and the younger people do not necessarily speak French. They have been assimilated and anglicized. To [inaudible] Bernard Derome's phrase "if the trend continues," when will the French fact disappear from Canada? Are there specific dates for that? If the use of French continues to decline, it will disappear completely at some point.
