I understand that. They are sovereign, but we can still invite those people. They can refuse or accept. We will see.
At some point, Alberta's government announced that, in three or four years' time, it would require all high school students to learn a second language. It would not necessarily be French, but simply a second language. Naturally, everyone thought that French would be at the forefront. There may have also been Japanese, Spanish, and so on. However, the Government of Alberta then gave up on the idea.
This issue bothers me. Why has no province, so far, insisted on our young people learning a second language?
