French-speaking populations in Saskatchewan are diminishing, the committee found. Census data shows the number of Saskatchewan residents who speak French as a first language has more than halved since 1961 and continues to gradually decline, now sitting at 1.4 per cent of the total population.Article content

“Members think the ministry is not doing enough to encourage the arrival and retention of bilingual immigrants.” “Very few newcomers will know of the existence of a Francophone community offering services in French, which could have provided them a better integration experience,” said the report. The committee’s first recommendation called for more work to promote the province to Francophone countries. The second called for more clear direction to French services for new residents, including a notice that candidates may choose to use French as their primary language when requesting permanent residence.
