Census Data: Proportion

Bilingualism In Canada Dept: Data from the 2011 census shows almost six million canadians speak English and a language other than French at home, according to CTV. Meanwhile the proportion of Quebecers speaking only French at home continues to drop slightly, going from 77 percent in 2001 to just under 73 percent in 2011 and census data released Wednesday shows bilingualism in Canada is on the rise, but not that involving the country's two official languages. That's up more than three percentage points from the 2006 census. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
