Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have four questions to ask. I will ask them all at once. That way, we will be able to proceed quickly.
The first question is that in Quebec there's a debate about the danger of teaching a second language too early—some people say it's a danger. I understand that in your community you start at kindergarten. I would like to know if there is a debate about it, and why, if there is no debate, there is a linguist somewhere saying it's not something we should do, as we hear in the French system in Quebec.
The second question I know is not in our jurisdiction, but since you are here, is there something in Bill 14 that you may have a concern about—I know it's a danger for CEGEPs—at primary and secondary schools?
The third point is your main focus. When I was the minister what I was told by the people in your community and by you, Mr. Birnbaum, at that time, was to keep your children so that they stay as adults in Quebec. If they live elsewhere, then for your family at Christmas time, it's very complicated. I understand.
Do you succeed? I guess there are many reasons that people may leave, other than they don't speak French. We are in North America. You may be invited to take a job elsewhere. Francophones may be more reluctant to leave, but anglophones are not. I remember when I was studying in Washington, if I hadn't been a francophone, maybe I would have stayed in the United States. I had a lot of opportunities, but my home was clearly in Montreal, and I came back.
The last point is for the benefit of this committee. You told us a lot of things. Can you sum up the ask you have for the report of our committee, the things you want us to absolutely not miss?
