It is often said that if something is done for francophones in Quebec, it will hurt francophones outside Quebec. The argument is always based on asymmetry. However, it is possible to do both: to strengthen French both in Quebec and outside Quebec.
I am going to come back to the territoriality model. I often hear the argument that this model applies only in Quebec and hurts francophones outside Quebec. The opposite is true. If we tried to make French the common language in the regions outside Quebec, where there is a critical mass of francophones, that might slow the rising rates of assimilation.
Is that correct?
