Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, mesdames. Thank you for being here today.
Thank you especially for the study you've submitted to us. I find it factual. You managed to show both the positive and negative aspects, where there are any. That's important. I think studies of this kind can make us react and urge us to take the necessary measures.
I agree with you: there has been little progress in 40 years. The example of the City of Mississauga comes to mind. Thirty years ago, when the act was already in effect, that city was mostly anglophone. Now, however, you have a better chance of hearing French when you walk around Mississauga than when you take the metro in Montreal. There are more and more regions like that.
That leads me to ask you how the statistics are established and how often places are designated bilingual.
