Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm pleased to be with you this morning. I don't often have the opportunity to sit on the committee. I'm discovering that certain universities in the anglophone provinces are very competent. I didn't know that there could be such effective programs.
What motivates students to enrol in your universities? They no doubt have a French base since they can't go to you as completely unilingual anglophones. They've no doubt previously had immersion courses or studied in francophone programs at the primary, secondary or pre-university level.
When they arrive at university, what attracts them? Do they come for their professional careers, for the culture or is it a mix of the two? Is it to make a career in the public service or internationally? Do those students speak two, three or four languages?
