I believe the federal government could do a number of things. The first is to promote a common framework. CASLT promotes a common framework for teachers. At the political level, however, the idea would be to have a national policy on targets, to adopt the same language concerning language skills, the same tools based on the same research and on the same concepts, which would make it possible to speak a common language with regard to teacher training and language evaluation. This will require a joint effort by the federal government and each province. That is the first thing. The point is to ensure that a student who finishes high school in Yukon understands what he or she knows and is able to identify it as being at the same level as that of someone from Nova Scotia or New Brunswick.
