It reminds me of something that happened a few weeks ago. This is a situation that is heart wrenching.
A young family from the Gaspésie settled in Edmonton. The spouse works in Fort McMurray, the mother does not speak English very well or not at all. She became sick, and she ended up in emergency for two days. She did not clearly understand what was happening in the hospital. She therefore decided that her children had to learn English as quickly as possible, that they had to learn English.
We'll see where that family ends up on the assimilation curve over the next few years. Those individuals will be anglicized by the time they return to the Gaspésie, if they ever return. These are things that are happening and that we see.
We never imagined that we would see all these people coming here at once. It happened over the summer. Our schools had 20% more students in September than they had last June. There has been massive immigration. We need the necessary tools to welcome these people properly. If we don't succeed, then they will very quickly become anglicized.
