Title
The Evolution of Public Opinion on Official Languages in Canada
Abstract
Based on a 2006 survey, the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages found that a strong majority of Canadians said they personally favour bilingualism for the entire country (72%) as well as for their own province (70%). This represents a significant increase since a similar 2003 survey, due to greater support from Anglophones. Among young adults aged 18 to 34 years, support for Canadian bilingualism was reported at eighty percent. The survey also found that seventy-seven percent of Canadians feel that if more resources are required to guarantee the same quality of education for a Francophone minority (or an Anglophone minority in Quebec) as that provided to the children of the majority, such resources should be made available.
