As my colleague Mr. Hamel mentioned, there were between 2,000 and 3,000 cases outside Quebec. Since those people should have been identified as francophones but were identified as anglophones, that of course had a slight impact. We are talking about a minor overestimation of the rate of bilingualism. For Canada as a whole, the percentage stated was 18%, but it is actually 17.9%. In Quebec, we are talking about a difference of a few tenths of a percentage point. The figure was 45%, and there was a difference of two or three tenths of a percentage point. If we are talking about anglophones living outside the greater Montreal area, you should know that people in the small municipalities outside that major region are most likely to be bilingual. Since these were francophones instead of anglophones, the result was an overestimation of the rate of bilingualism.
