We feel that the federal government has an important role to play in promoting bilingualism. We have two recommendations.
First, the government should provide more funding for educational resources for immersion students and resources that support the teaching of Canadian history.
Second, we feel that the government must continue to support authentic experiences from which students and teachers can benefit outside the classroom. It is because of these various programs and the support provided to museums, exchanges and community groups that the three of us are here today and are able to tell you about our experiences.
