That was especially the case in terms of the research. At the pre-conference sessions, economic integration was identified as a critical component. Our researchers also regularly made the same point. It was also noted that, in order to find a job in a minority community, English is often a requirement. As well, it was mentioned that language acquisition services should be provided by Francophone community organizations. That would afford an opportunity to learn English—albeit, through a Francophone community organization, which could also give rise to new connections with the Francophone community.
Moreover, when parents realize that economic integration is difficult, they often decide that it would be more beneficial for their children to speak English. At that point, they register them in an English-language school, and that is when they become assimilated into the majority Anglophone community. That's why it is important to encourage them to register their children at French schools.
