We're about to open a new school in Victoria. The school will open in January, and there's already a waiting list twice as long as what we had anticipated. Don't forget that the school boards in British Columbia, as is the case elsewhere, are declining; whereas we're growing.
In our frequent talks with the province, we request permission to build schools big enough to be able to provide necessary services. For example—our chairwoman knows something about this—the child care at Gabrielle-Roy school was built for 600 students three years ago. Next year, we'll be adding portable classrooms because people don't understand that the Francophone program is actually growing. We have to be given the necessary funding so that we can build. Build it, and they will come!
Let me raise one final point.
I may be straying from the question a little, but I want to add to what Ms. Friolet said earlier about the importance of postsecondary education. Students currently pursuing a postsecondary education attend the Collège Éducacentre, at the college level, and the Bureau des affaires francophones et francophiles of Simon Fraser University. It's very important to continue encouraging these studies. In January, we'll also be offering a doctoral program in which 19 Francophones and Francophiles are registered.
