I'd like to clarify something.
Not only do all offices in Quebec offer services in both languages, but English predominates. That's what Yvon Barrière, the regional executive vice-president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada for the Quebec region told us. A survey showed that 68.7% of positions in the federal public service in Quebec required bilingualism, whereas outside Quebec, it was only 13%.
It would therefore be very difficult to find a location in Quebec where there was not at least one person who could provide services in English. Outside of Quebec, on the other hand, the situation is problematic because there are lots of places where no services in French are available. All of our witnesses agreed on that in the course of our study.
