Regarding this topic, I can tell you that a study was made last year at the university of Ottawa. It was a joint study made by Mr. Pierre de Blois, who is a member of the board of governors, and Ms. Fauteux, I believe—we should verify this—from the Education Department. Actually, it was recommended that the University of Ottawa should increase the number of bilingual graduate students and even that bilingualism should be a compulsory requirement for obtaining a degree. I dare to hope that the university will take those measures. This is an important element.
Secondly, they created an immersion program at the post-secondary level. To my knowledge, they received many more applications than they expected. There is a cost to pay in both cases. In your opinion, would it be appropriate for the Canadian government, through transfers to provinces or perhaps even through direct transfers, to support those institutions which would help the federal government to ensure that its public service obeys its own rules?
