You also said that, despite the progress made by francophones, the decline of French in Quebec is a cause for concern. The challenge is to integrate more immigrants into the francophone majority. The federal government recently said that it also had a mandate to protect and promote French in Quebec, and that's something quite new.
Isn't it somewhat inconsistent that in Quebec, for example, all funding for programs supporting the economic development of official language minority communities is allocated to English, or to strengthening anglophone economic development, particularly to support groups that promote recruiting immigrants to fill anglophone positions?
