Exactly.
The government often relies on the clause that states: “where numbers warrant”. However, it's hard to determine that number without adequate facilities, and if we don't have service of equal quality to that of the English-language schools. We've seen it in all our centres: from the moment the school centre came into existence, our numbers rose incredibly.
In 2000, the Summerside elementary school had space in our offices. There were four students in grade 1. That's all. In 2006, we had a great school centre that met a lot of the community's needs. We think it's a model for all other regions. We had four students in 2000, and now we have 65 to 70. At the preschool centre day care for children 22 months to six years of age, there are more than 50 students.
This confirms the theory that, where services exist, people use them. If you limit yourself to the people who attend our schools, in inadequate rooms and facilities, it's really hard to judge clientele potential.
