The population of French only speakers is tiny.

That's not the point. Canada has always been about a harmony between cultures. Having a basic grasp of only one of the official languages makes it seem like the candidate is culturally narrow-minded (although personally, I'd forgive this if they can communicate in any other non-official language).

Besides, it's the second-largest language spoken in Canadian homes outside of Quebec.
