As a professional working in both official languages day in and day out, I found a recent study conducted by the Institut de recherche en économie contemporaine and the Institut de recherche sur le français en Amérique particularly interesting: nearly 14 % of
employees in Quebec's education, health and
public sectors predominantly use English as a language of work and this, with Anglophones only representing 9 % of Quebec's population (the study was based on the 2006 census).
