Why calling French speakers?
French is one of the two official languages of Canada, along with English. The province of Quebec is predominantly French-speaking, and it has French as its official language.
French is also widely spoken in other provinces and territories, particularly in New Brunswick, where it is an official language alongside English. In these regions, many services, including government services, are available in both English and French.
In other parts of Canada, outside of Quebec and New Brunswick, French speakers can also be found, although to a lesser extent.
The federal government, as well as many provincial and municipal governments, require bilingual employees to serve the needs of French-speaking Canadians. This includes areas such as public administration, healthcare, education, and customer service.
