It would be a good idea to tell the current conservative government that.
I fought for French schools in Saskatchewan. The Premier at the time, Mr. Romanow, told us—he represented the NDP—that education was in fact an area of provincial jurisdiction, but the federal government had to pick up the tab. And we had to pay for the schools that were taken away from this in 1931; we had to buy them back between 1993 and 1995. It is rather sad. However, it remains that, at the time, it was the only federal government, regardless of political stripe, that agreed to give money to a province to establish French schools, in order to bring them back 64 years later.
DId the federal government say that it was prepared to invest to ensure that students—your children—would have a French-language high school in a so-called bilingual country where French and English are supposed to be equal?
