I don’t want to spend too much time on this, but I want to remind you that that is a self‑assessment. Our committee has already conducted a study on this, and we have a lot of questions about that data, at least I do. These are self‑assessments, not actual indicators.
I return to the decline of French.
So French is on the decline, Minister, you agree with that. Moreover, French is in decline according to all linguistic indicators, whether the language used at home, the mother tongue, the language of work or the first official language spoken.
Do you agree that French is in decline and that there is an urgent need to act to counter this decline?
