Yes, that would be preferable.
Reading the proposed regulations, I wondered how they came up with this way of designating regions, as it sets a double standard.
Obviously, I suspect this figure was chosen in Quebec to reflect the Charter of the French Language. That said, some regions with a strong francophone presence may have some nasty surprises. Has any thought been given to the impact on the ground? Were those calculations made or were those numbers—100 employees or less or 500 employees—chosen because it was more administratively manageable? That's the main issue.
