Ms. Alepin, I'd like to ask you a question that may seem strange.
I believe that my region, the greater Chaudière-Appalaches region, is the only place in Canada, or even North America, where anglophones have been assimilated. Our region is 99.7% francophone. I know some 70‑year‑old people who had been anglophones when they were young and who have now lost their English. They struggle to find the right words in English and they speak it with a French accent. It's truly bizarre.
The fertility rate among francophones appears to be a little too low to maintain a workable ratio.
What do you think can be done on that score?
