Ms. Thorne, if I understand correctly, you couldn't have had six schools if the program hadn't existed, but the need is even more obvious now. The minority Francophone communities, where the markets are small and the population smaller, need help, and we see that your efforts to assist the Francophones and young people in your community are impossible now that you no longer have the necessary resources to move forward.
The shame in all that is that you're forced to lease space next to a bar in order to provide the Francophone communities with the service they deserve.
This is an example of what distresses me the most. These are horror stories that we prefer not to hear, but some government members must hear them and understand them today. In actual fact, it's the Court Challenges Program that has helped you in the past, but, since it's been cut, you're forced to keep these students in an inappropriate environment in order to enable them to learn French and study in French. You don't have a choice.
