It’s quite dramatic.
It is also interesting to note the trend that has been observed due to the famous provision that services must be offered to the minority where the numbers justify it. In other words, when French is in decline somewhere, there are fewer services in French, as they are less justified by the number of rights holders. So, instead of changing this criterion, there was a tendency to modify the indicators of linguistic vitality. People then started to consider the first official language spoken, for example. Recently, the potential demand for minority language services has even been added to the indicators. However, it conceals the decline of French. I think it’s better to face reality and take action, rather than always quoting new statistics.
What we see is that the risk of assimilation is also concerning in New Brunswick and Acadia, the main locus of resistance for francophones outside Quebec.
