 Log Cabin Chronicles Leo Gervais' Quebec town merger plan column
If any of the 14 legally bilingual towns or cities in the 29-member Montreal Urban Community (MUC) were to merge with Montreal, they would lose their bilingual status, a status conferred only to municipalities with more than half of its residents English.
The City of Westmount, for example, has 20,000 residents, and roughly 80 per cent of them declare English as their mother tongue, according to Statistics Canada's 1996 census.
If Westmount, which is currently geographically surrounded by the City of Montreal, is forced to merge, it would lose its bilingual status because Montreal has about one million residents -- approximately 70 per cent of them French-speaking.

Under Quebec's plan, as of January 1, 2002, these municipalities would be merged into borourghs as part of a larger City of Montreal.
