North American continent and extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean and towards
the north to the islands of the Arctic Ocean. Canada borders only one country, its southern neighbor,

arbitrators in interpretation disputes. Twenty years ago, the proportion of
Canadians who recognized English as their mother tongue was a little less than 60
percent, while those who identified with French as their mother tongue were about
25 percent. Today the numbers show that there is an even higher percentage of
English-speaking people in the country (and fewer Francophones), largely due to the
large influx of Americans who have taken up residence in Canada. It is estimated
that about 17 percent of all Canadians are bilingual, English and French, although
these numbers are a regionalized phenomenon and do not necessarily represent
the country as a whole. In the provinces with the highest number of people who
speak French, such as Quebec and New Brunswick, the percentage of bilingual
people is 38 percent and 33 percent respectively. On the other hand, the province
of Ontario, which represents more than 30 percent of the total population, the
