Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Le Conseil de la langue française made public a study on language of work indicators in Quebec.
I am pleased at the progress French has made as language of work in Quebec. The report reveals that, among other things, in 1991, over 67 per cent of senior jobs were occupied by francophones. The percentage of bilingual anglophones in Montreal has increased from 45 per cent in 1971 to 68 per cent in 1986.
All of this clearly indicates that the French fact is established in Quebec in all spheres of activity and that francophones, like anglophones, now have access to all the top jobs.
The study by Le Conseil de la langue française confirms what we have known for decades: it is possible to live and to succeed in a united Canada.
