According to the rather large figures you gave us, French is declining in Quebec. Can we say that this decline is also attributable to the massive influx of immigrants in recent years, particularly in the Montreal region?
I'm from La Pocatière, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, where we'd love to see our population grow, not decline as is currently the case. In fact, we're losing ridings, which my colleague Mr. Beaulieu is delighted about. We'll be adding a new riding north of Montreal and removing one in Bas-Saint-Laurent, to correct inequalities in representation.
Inevitably, the fact that immigrants aren't coming to our regions has consequences. We'd probably have an easier time francizing them in our regional CEGEPs, which I know well, because they're not very anglicized, unlike Montreal's CEGEPs, which Mr. Bourdon talked a lot about. Sherbrooke's may be a little anglicized, but the ones in the Lower St. Lawrence and northern Quebec aren't.
I've raised several points, so I'll let you respond.
