Can the number of Francophones obtained with the IDF be compared with those estimated based on mother tongue or the first official language spoken variable?
Yes, it is possible to compare the results obtained with the three different variables, but only to a certain degree. With regards to the 2001 census, we will have to wait several more months before we have the number of Francophones obtained with the IDF. Also, with the 2006 census, the OFA no longer uses the mother tongue criterion, which limits comparison possibilities between the three variables.
