Canada's Cost of Official Bilingualism: $1.8 billion per year

May 6, 2009

A new report conducted by the Fraser Institute finds that Canada is spending up to $1.8 billion annually to conform with Canada’s federal bilingual mandates. The study estimated the cost of government services in French at $55 per Canadian per year.

If that figure was applied to the U.S. population of 306 million, the cost of similar government mandated bilingualism could approach $19 billion annually. The complete study is available for free download on the Fraser Institute website.
