According to the Statistics Canada website (refer to the links, below),

the 2001 Canada census form asked citizens the following question:

"What language(s), other than English or French,

can this person speak well enough to conduct a conversation?"

The responses to that question resulted in the following:

"About 5,231,500 people reported to the 2001 Census that they were bilingual . . .

In 2001, these individuals represented 17.7% of the population,

up from 17.0% in 1996."

By extrapolation of these numbers, the total population of Canada was about 29,556,497 in 2001.

(n.b., although there are more recent Canada census records online, none give the information in the above format or in any way that could be presented easily, here)

Canada has two official languages: English and French. All Federal government services in Canada are offered in both languages.

The only province to be ' officially' bilingual is New Brunswick.

If there is only one it is Manitoba in the centre of Canada.

But there are two, one is Manitoba the other NB in Eastern Canada.
