 The historian and sociologist Gérard Bouchard, co-chair of the Bouchard-Taylor Commission, has suggested that, as the francophones of Quebec or French Canadian descent consider themselves a fragile and colonized minority, despite forming the majority of the population of Quebec, they have found it difficult to accept other ethnic groups as also being Quebecers.He thinks that an independent Quebec with a "founding myth" based upon "un acte fondateur" would give the Québécois the confidence to act more generously to incorporate all willing ethnic communities in Quebec into a unified whole.According to a Léger Marketing survey of January 2007, 86% of Quebecers of ethnic origins other than English or French have a good opinion of the ethnically French majority.
