Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for being here today.
Personally, I did the opposite when I was studying. I went to English immersion. I'm going to tell you a little story. I studied administration at McGill University. My professor was Vietnamese. I understood absolutely nothing in the first course. I wondered if it was my fault, if my English was that bad. I didn't understand any more in the second course. I spoke to an anglophone who was in my class. She told me the same thing, that she understood absolutely nothing. We asked to change professors because he wasn't proficient enough in the language to teach us.
I'd like to talk about the Explore program. We've talked a lot about it. I would like to have some more details on how it works in your universities. We've been told that it's a good five-week program. However, a lot of people don't take it because they have to work during the summer, or because they can't afford to do it. What could be done to improve the program? Shouldn't there be a scholarship for students to encourage them to use those five weeks to see whether they like being in immersion to learn a second language?
