Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu.
When people emigrate to France, it’s all set up for them to use French. In Italy, same thing; it’s all is set up for immigrants to learn Italian properly.
In Quebec, it’s not like that because of federal government funding, federal legislation, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Constitution. It’s not all set up for newcomers to speak French. It therefore becomes a choice based on their trajectory in life. If they meet a French-speaking friend, maybe they’ll become interested in French. If they work in a French-speaking environment, they may become interested in French or want to follow francization courses if needed. However, they aren’t required to learn French, because we live in an anglonormative environment. It allows any immigrant and any English speaker in Canada to live their entire life without having to learn French.
