Footnote 5

First official language spoken: “First official language spoken” is defined in the Official Languages (Communications with and Services to the Public) Regulations, which govern Part IV of the Official Languages Act. The method used to derive the first official language spoken takes the following into account: first, knowledge of official languages; second, mother tongue; and third, language spoken most often at home. Any cases in which Statistics Canada does not have sufficient information available to decide whether English or French is the first official language spoken are distributed equally between English and French.
