Yes, I would, and let me be clear. I'm not saying that Mandarin should be mandatory. We already have official bilingualism. French is a very important language for Canadians to master, perhaps even before they master a third language, but the option should be presented. When you think about Vancouver, just Vancouver alone, which is of course the most Asian city outside of Asia, we only have one French immersion high school, only one for all of Vancouver, which is ridiculous.
