There may be some small pockets of French-only but they are small imo, even in Gatineau proper we never have an issue.
That's definitely been my experience. My French is quite good, but the Southwestern Ontario accent is hard to hide, and I find that 9 times out of 10, the person will switch to English on me. That 1 time out of 10 when they don't try to switch is usually in Gatineau proper, not Hull or Aylmer.
