Effects of Bill 101
- The overall effects of Bill 101 are difficult to measure because of the nature of language learning. However, overall there has been a small increase in the percentage of francophones. Overall a fifty percent increase over 1970 of bilingual allophones has been noted. However, despite concerns that were present before the bill was enacted, there has been no discernable loss of English after the bill. Additionally, there has been no increase in job demand for allophones since the bill’s inaction.
