Here is the new story/study of that I found for the assignment. In this study, it indicates the mother tongue of Canadian at the beginning of the 20th century are French and English.In 1901, about one in ten people declared their mother tongue as an indigenous or immigrant language. It was not until 1941 that the concept of mother tongue was defined in the Canadian Census, which was defined as the first language of childhood learning at home and can still be understood today.However, In the next 115 years, Canadian language features have become more diverse, the reason is there were more and more immigration and aboard students came to Canada. Thus the proportion of English and French speakers decreased.
