“First, the report shows clearly that on an individual basis, English- and French-speaking Quebecers get along, far better than discourse in the chattering classes would have us believe,” she said. “Second, it is very clear that there is an important role for the ESCQ to play in building bridges, not only within Quebec, with our Francophone friends and neighbours, but with the rest of Canada, even in helping promote the importance and value of French to the rest of the country.
