Until the Official Languages Act of 1969, the term "French Canadian" was sometimes used to refer to Canadians who speak French (now called "Francophone Canadians").[3] French Canadians make up the majority of the native speakers of French in Canada, which account for 22 percent of the country's total population, as well as the majority of Quebec's population, where they are referred to as Quebecers or Québécois.
