I would even go a little further with regard to the purpose and promotion of French-language schools. Linguistic duality is a foundation and value of our country, which was built on that platform. I will head in the direction opposite that of the questions that Mr. Galipeau and Mr. Lauzon asked about the value-added of the francophonie. It definitely has one. When parents register their children at a French-language school in Canada, they're told they shouldn't worry because their children will emerge from that school perfectly bilingual.
Why is it important for them to be perfectly bilingual? I don't think we have to go on at length about the advantages that entails. Before even being registered at our French-language schools, they know they'll be perfectly bilingual. Linguistic duality is consistent with the objectives and foundations of Canada. They're told that, by being perfectly bilingual, they'll be able to find work more easily than unilingual individuals.
