When we look closely, we see that, at the same time, there is a decline in French in Canada, especially outside Quebec.
There is a kind of sloppiness and indifference on the government's part. Sometimes it has good intentions, but it does not do enough to counter that decline. Shouldn't its rhetoric be more critical of what is happening?
At the same time, the concept of providing a service when the number of people warrants it somewhat forces francophone Acadian communities to inflate their numbers in order to get more services. However, if those figures are inflated, it sends the message that everything is fine and that, at the end of the day, we don't really need to reverse the trend.
