Thank you, Mr. Nadeau.
The steps concerned parents with children. The first step is the desire to educate our children. I will use the Gravelbourg case, in Saskatchewan, as an example, where parents were refused the right to have a Franco-Saskatchewanian school. They created an independent school that they had to manage themselves. They purchased materials and furniture, and paid the rent. Some parents took out a mortgage so that the employees and teachers hired could ensure a certain quality of life to the students.
The fact that parents have to fight to obtain an absolutely essential service, their children's education, is moving. Why do we have to fight for this, when it takes 10 years? We know that the final recourse is going to the courts to seek a ruling on such a case.
As Ms. Pilon said, every time that parents have had to go to court, they have won. But why did they have to fight? There are all kinds of ideological questions, there is indifference, no one necessarily cares because this is a minority and no one wants to jeopardize the position of the majority.
