SUMMARY Nore—It should be clearly understood by the reader of this summary and the report proper that the conclusions reached apply only to those portions of the several nationalities and stocks which have emigrated to, and are now a part of the population of, Canada. CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE POPULATION OF CANADA BETWEEN 1901 AND 1921 (1) In 1921, 55 p.c. of the population of the Dominion was of British stock, and nearly 08 p.c. French. The other European stocks constituted 14-16 p.c. of the population, Asiatics less than 1 p.c., and all others, including Indians and Negroes, slightly over 2 pe. The population of Canada is thus predominantly British and French, these two stocks represent- ing over 83 p.c., or five-sixths, of the total. (2) In numbers, the North Western Europeans (other than British and French) exceeded the South, Eastern and Central Europeans in 1821 by approximately 20 pe, but the latter group has been rapidly overtaking the former. Numerically, the most important foreign stocks in Canada of North West European origin are the Germans, Dutch, Norwegians and Swedish, in the order named; and among the South, Fast and Central Europeans those reported as of Austrian, Ukrainian, Russian, Italian and Polish origins, With the exception of the Germans, the Hebrews (the majority of whom have come from Central and Eastern Europe) are the most numerous of the foreign stocks in the Dorninion, (3) Since the beginning of the century, the composition of the population of Canada has been in a state of rapid change. (See Chart 1.) The British and French form a pro- gressively smaller proportion of the population, and the numbers of Negroes and Red Indians bave remained virtually stationary. On the other hand, the numerical and per- centage increases of the non-British stocks in the past two decades have been relatively Carr 1 PERCENTAGES or tie POPULATION or CANADA or BRITISH, FRENCH, OTHER EUROPEAN ano ASIATIC ORIGINS in 1901 ano 1921. 20 nD 20 30 40 50. 607 BRITISH FRENCH OTHER EUROPEAN 1Q0)| 192 | Ty ASIATIC
