Quebec has seen the largest increase in English-French bilingualism, from 28% in 2006 to 33% in 2016, in comparison to Canada as a whole (2006 at 16% and 2016 at 19%).
As well, 94% of children and youth in Quebec were more likely to retain their second official language 10 years later. Elsewhere in Canada, about one-third of children and youth who were bilingual in 2006 were no longer bilingual 10 years later.
Speaking more than one official language gives our youth the opportunity to get a desired position, live anywhere in Canada and travel all over the world.
