We aren't necessarily experiencing problems with recruitment because the colleges are growing. The statistics do not show any problem in that regard. The reason we say we have needs is that, if we can't integrate francophiles with francophones, our communities will be dealt a direct blow in short order and suffer a demographic decline. So that is why our communities, colleges and institutions would do well to work with francophiles and interest them in our realities.
I said some programs were in trouble. Sometimes numbers and diversity are to blame. Programs are offered, but sometimes the cohort isn't sufficient. Generally speaking, recruitment isn't the problem. The problem lies in certain programs where a proportion of francophiles and immersion students could provide the cohort needed to be able to offer those programs. That could prevent a student from having to attend an English-language college or a French-language institution in another part of the country.
