How many could say that in both official languages though?

Canadians are tolerant, welcoming, etc., etc. as the numbers quoted by the Commissioner for Official Languages's note (Most favour bilingualism, language report finds):

. . . eight out of 10 Canadians support bilingual government services and preserving both official languages. But between 40 and 50 per cent of Canadians believe too much effort goes into the national program.

So, there's no mention of how many people are officially bilingual. I would expect that it is substantially lower than even the 40-50% who think too much money is spent on official languages.
