With regard to variations in enrolments in regular second language learning programs, have any causal relationships been established based on certain data to explain what has happened?
For example, we see that there is a constant increase in the percentages in Alberta. Has anyone checked to see whether that increase is associated, for example, with growth in the number of immigrants whose second language is French, since they come from African countries that were colonized by France?
Can we establish any causal relationships between certain factors? Ultimately, have any measures really been put in place to improve the performance of certain provinces? If so, we would be interested in hearing about them. Is that increase simply related to social or geographic circumstances?
