The poll indicates that 49% of Canadians believe it makes sense for Canada to maintain two official languages, despite many newcomers not speaking English or French. Additionally, 43% of Canadians think bilingualism exists only to satisfy a minority, while 41% view it as central to Canadian identity. The poll also shows that 52% of Canadians consider it important for Canada to remain officially bilingual, whereas 42% do not.
