An opinion poll for Canada’s Commissioner of Official Languages shows Canadians are strongly in favour of the objectives of the Official Languages Act, but support is strongest in Quebec.

In the rest of Canada, francophones are much more likely than anglophones (98 per cent versus 78 per cent) to believe it’s important that the prime minister, Supreme Court judges and federal ministers be bilingual.

Geographically, 95 per cent of Quebecers support the act, compared to 87 per cent in Ontario, 86 per cent in Atlantic Canada and 78 per cent in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
