There are clearly two somewhat different but complementary issues: official languages and postsecondary education, on the one hand, and bilingualism, on the other. It is important that postsecondary students be able to study in the official language of their choice. If they want to make progress and get good marks, it's preferable that they study in their mother tongue. On the other hand, we would like graduates to be more bilingual. Those are two different matters. A university or college can offer courses in French in Ontario, for example, but not promote bilingualism.
What I'd like to know is, from a CMEC perspective—and the ministers who come together from different provinces—are these two issues discussed, and how they relate, and the different solutions needed for different results? From a strategy perspective, are they actually discussed by provinces?
