No, no, this was very clear. We were not adequately educated in English schools in Quebec to compete in our market. We don't want that problem to happen to subsequent generations.
We're saying, why can't you take kids from English and French schools and maybe put them in a common environment? What is so wrong with that? Now, maybe it's impractical. Maybe the English kids will result in a English milieu, but it's a course we have to take.
Our movement's point is that to think that the status quo is not without cost is foolish. We see it in the English community, this desire for continued segregation, not only in schools but in other facets of their life. Why do you think there is so much animosity towards the one island, one city concept in English-speaking neighbourhoods? It's because we live a segregated existence. So we want that reflected in other structures.
As I said, if Quebec tried for independence, I am sure there would be a movement by that same point of view towards partition, even though we don't support partition.
