You say that in the other provinces, immersion programs start at an earlier age. As you have mentioned, New Brunswick is the only province in Canada that is officially bilingual, but it is the only one without early immersion.
Is the problem that people are not talking to one another at some level, or is it that someone with blinkers on made this decision on a cost basis?
Canadian Parents for French, for an example, came to our committee and said they didn't want that. They had 350 people rallying in front of the legislature in New Brunswick saying, “Don't take that away from us.”
If It's a monetary problem, what would you recommend, that it happen? Or what is the real problem?
