Yes, thank you.
Ms. Michaud, your question is interesting. As you probably know, second language teaching is not protected by any legislation. It's up to each province and territory to put programs in place based on their budgets, means and the context in which the government operates.
For over 30 years, the federal government has concluded agreements with the provinces and territories for both language teaching and minority language teaching. It is these agreements and mechanisms that have enabled the provinces to be responsible and that have encouraged them to show they are responsible in this area.
