There again, to work at the primary and secondary level, we would have to improve not only the quality of teaching, but also the approaches used. Young people today are very connected through social media and on the Internet. I therefore believe that the transition is happening in second language teaching resources, but it is not complete. So learning has to be interesting to students. We therefore have to be aware of that fact. That is also why we are working at the postsecondary level. We want to create postsecondary models for second-language learning because we believe that, if we promote opportunities in the labour market, universities and colleges, students attending bilingual or francophone institutions will think that is possible. That will create openings that we consider promising. However, I believe that a lot of work has to be done on educational resources, educational material and teacher training. That has to be modernized and we also have to invest in that area. Young people say that all they learn when they opt for an education in French is verbs. That is not really interesting. It is an old approach. The new approaches are communicative, interactive and much more dynamic than the old methods, and we have to work on that.
