Nor do I think you're crazy. I think you're passionate, and that's appreciated.
In the last few weeks, as we've been hearing from a variety of witnesses regarding these four decades of French immersion across Canada, a constant challenge that's been raised both by students who have gone through the program and teachers is the lack of engagement in the second language post-high school. There is a drop-off, and a lot of students who are keen to engage don't have avenues to do that.
Would each of you potentially comment on how you think the federal government might be able to work on issues related to that?
It seems in your case, Mr. Young, that you opted in and out of language and reaffirmed your appreciation, and that was good for you.
We've all touched on the challenge of education being a provincial responsibility, but the consistency with which we have heard this comment leads me to think that the federal government may have a role in targeting some grants specifically for maintaining that post-high school engagement.
