Mr. Chouinard, even if a pool of francophones is interested in studying in French, if we can't offer those people programs they want to take, they may well opt for anglophone universities. We are seriously missing the boat here. As we are in the same riding, you know there are two community colleges. If you compare them to other colleges in the country, you can see they're not big. The campus of the Université de Moncton, for example, is not large, compared to others. Nevertheless, these are majority francophone places. Let's take the example of the Campbellton campus. If French-language training had not been provided in hospital care, our students would definitely have gone elsewhere to get their training. They would probably even have opted for anglophone educational institutions. If we don't have any programs, we won't get far. Even if we build them, without programs, students definitely won't stay to study in French.
