So this means that 15% speaks only French, 18% French and English, and 67% English only?

You are assuming "bilingual" means English/French bilingual and people who speak neither don't exist. DO NOT ASSUME SAAR!

But seriously, yes on the 18%. Probably wrong on the 15% and 67%.

In 2021, 98.1% of the population of the country could sustain a conversation in French or English. Moreover, there has never been as many bilingual Canadians, with 6,581,000 people who can conduct a conversation in English and in French, they now represent 18.0% of the Canadian population (compared to 17.9 % in 2016).

The catch is that it's 46.4% of Quebec and 9.5% of the rest of Canada.

Although the number of bilingual English-French individuals rose in Canada outside Quebec (+53,000) from 2016 to 2021, the English-French bilingualism rate decreased, falling from 9.8% to 9.5%. This is due to faster growth in the number of people who can conduct a conversation only in English, or in neither English nor French.

And only 3.3% of Canadians outside of Quebec have French as a mother tongue. It really is one province holding the rest of the country hostage over this shit. Now watch as they replace him as CEO with either a woman who does speak French or an Indian who barely speaks even English, but they'll be afraid to point out.
