Mr. Chairman, the member's suggestions seem very interesting to me.
I am reluctant to say one size fits all. I think there are all kinds of ways to learn a second language. I learned French during my summer jobs when I was in university, and that changed my life. It is as simple as that. I was finished high school and immersion did not exist in those days. So I hesitate to say that there is only one way to learn other languages. What is important is to have the largest possible number of options. I have noted that in Europe, they have the Erasmus program through which the European Community provides bursaries to the university students so that they can spend a year or more in another institution in order to learn another European language.
I would ask Mr. Goldenberg to describe briefly what we discovered regarding the number of programs that already exist here.
