One thing has changed, Mr. Weston, and that is the rights holders. Under section 23 of the Constitution, we have gone after the rights holders, those who were entitled to French-language schools. Through funding, we have gained access to schools and we have funded schools outside Quebec in regions where, in many cases, there were previously no French-language schools.
The rights holders have thus made this growth in the francophone population possible. On the anglophone side, the French-language immersion programs in the schools have also helped francophones a great deal. People who are capable of speaking French work for provincial government bodies or other bodies. They are capable of communicating with francophones, which creates this francophone community. That aspect is often overlooked. Various programs afford us the opportunity to work much more with the other communities. At first, it was the rights holders. This is one of the major problems that we have to solve among francophones to ensure we have this linguistic continuity in the schools.
