UnpublishedTV: Is the French Language in Decline?
The Prime Minister has said he is concerned about the decline in the use of French in Quebec.
While it may appear there are fewer French speaking people in Quebec, the same holds true for English. Anytime language becomes an issue in this country, the rhetoric ramps up. At issue this time, is the Province of Quebec wants Bill 101, the Province’s outdated language law to apply to federally regulated businesses in Quebec, which is a federal jurisdiction.
Last week we asked our viewers whether they thought the use of the French language is in decline in Québec. The results so far:
Yes - 40.4%
No - 51.9%
Unsure - 7.7%
