I think that's true. The Charter of the French Language and the Canada-Quebec Accord acknowledge the importance of that aspect. I might even say that the Canada-Quebec Accord somewhat contradicts the Official Languages Act because it recognizes the distinct character of Quebec society and the need for measures to help immigrants acquire the French language and culture in Quebec.
Quebec wants to convey the message that French is the language that will promote integration, inclusion and active participation in Quebec society. We want a common language, and that's French. However, English does occupy a very important position and exercises a very strong power of attraction.
In addition, temporary immigration is now surpassing permanent immigration. People can now enter the country without meeting any language requirements. They may study and work in English for years and then apply for permanent residence.
The federal policy will definitely undermine Quebec's efforts as a result.
