Indeed, despite my lack of experience — as you know, I am not yet an expert in this matter —, I would say that it is very difficult to obtain money that has been given by the government for daycare centres, children or baby sitting services, by telling parents that, since they are receiving this money, they should perhaps hand it back so that their child can be placed in a francophone daycare centre. I do not think that this link occurs automatically. We would need to do a great deal of work to make people aware of this or to promote this idea in order to attract children to a francophone setting.
