I think so, yes.
The government is working on modernizing the rules. One option being considered is moving towards a more inclusive definition of the term “francophone”, as Ontario has done. That would mean including references to speaking French and so forth. The modernizing of services is another element being discussed. It's important to know who is on the receiving end of the services being provided and to have reliable data in order to determine who the people likely to receive French-language services are and where they live. That would also be important in the context of this initiative.
