I'll add to that.

I work with sectoral self-government agreements. We have two that I would speak to that have immersion elements to them.

One is the Mi'kmaq agreement, the MK agreement in Nova Scotia, where there are 12 first nations. The other is the Anishinabe first nation agreement, where there are 23 communities. Both of those sectoral self-government agreements allow for first nations to decide how they want to deliver programming. In both situations, there is immersive programming from at least K to grade 3 or 4.
