It's healthy and well. I was looking at a statistic the other day, actually, and in 1976, the year I was born, 0.3% of British Columbia kids were enrolled in French immersion. Today it's almost 11%. That I think is considerable progress and success.
When you go into these classrooms.... I have been to my sister's classroom, for example. She teaches at Aubrey Elementary School in Burnaby, right across from Kensington Pitch and Putt. It's this phenomenally communitarian, great little public school. You go into the classroom and....
By the way, three-quarters of the students there are first- and second-generation Canadians. When Graham Fraser, the Commissioner of Official Languages, was out in Vancouver during the Olympics, I brought him to Maillardville. It was fantastic. We stood there and we saw.... We had this great choir from a couple of elementary schools. They were singing O Canada. Of the entire group of kids, it was the most ethnically diverse groups of kids you've ever seen.
I guarantee you that a majority of those kids' parents are first-generation Canadians, many of whom I suspect are struggling to learn their first official language, and these kids are up there singing the national anthem entirely in French.
We have these examples all across the country. It's great.
