In terms of access to immersion for everyone, we must recognize the fact that all young people can actually do well in an immersion program, regardless of their mother tongue or their future student qualifications.
We know that, in order to increase access to immersion, we must make the program available as early as kindergarten or Grade 1. That is actually the case in Manitoba, where I work. This way, we would ensure having as many active offers as possible available to families who choose immersion studies for their children.
Allophones are clearly interested in learning the country's second official language, or rather the other official language—it is not a second language; I apologize. What we need to do now is encourage school boards to make it all happen.
