I wish you could be here for at least four meetings. That way, we could really have a constructive discussion and find out exactly where things stand. In fact, I don't think we are able to break down much of the data that comes from Statistics Canada in order to get a fuller picture.
My second point has to do with allophones. According to your documents, 2% of the 200,000 allophones who come from all over the world settled in francophone communities outside Quebec. And those communities make up 14% of Canada's population. The birth rate in francophone communities is down 50% over a decade ago.
When only 2% of immigrants are choosing to settle in French-speaking communities, how are these communities expected to survive? It's mathematically impossible.
