I'll share some data with you. For example, in Canada, the average salary of people educated in both French and English is generally higher than that of unilingual English speakers. So there's a purchasing power associated with being trained in French and evolving in French in communities across the country. This obviously has an impact on communities. However, wherever there's a shortage of labour, there's a drop in productivity and reduced access to services, among other things.
Let's take the example of a health care system that is obliged to offer health services in French. If the professionals in place don't speak French, this can lead to misdiagnoses and treatment errors. For the health care system, it will cost more to correct these errors, which were made because French-speaking or bilingual professionals were not present. It's the same in various sectors of the economy.
Let's not forget the huge demand for French immersion programs. Across the country, we need to train teachers who will be able to work well in these schools and offer training in French in a way that meets the needs and aspirations of students and their parents. Francophone institutions across the country are at the forefront of teacher training, and will be able to contribute to finding adequate responses to the need for access to French-language education across the country.
