Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Professor Genesee, thanks for being here. It's always nice to see a fellow “McGillean”.
Actually, a lot of the stuff you mentioned touches me a lot. I did French immersion, my mom is an English second language teacher, and my brother couldn't do immersion because he has a learning difference, or a learning disability, whatever you want to call it, which is exactly what you were just talking about in your presentation.
That whole elitist point I think is interesting, because it seems like immersion is always seen as a “cherry on a cake” kind of thing. There are a lot of questions around how well integrated it is into communities. You touched on that a little bit, and I was wondering if you could perhaps elaborate on that.
