Description: The Charter says in some circumstances, the Canadian government has to function in both official languages. Across Canada many people are able to function in both official languages. In the 2001 census, over 17 percent of people described themselves as bilingual. Francophones are more likely to be bilingual than people whose first language is English. The census shows, about 43 percent of francophones are bilingual, while only about 9 percent of anglophones are. While bilingualism has been increasing throughout Canada most of the increase is within Quebec. The rate of bilingualism has remained pretty much unchanged outside of Quebec.
