Thank you very much, Mr. hair.
Madam, in order to answer your question or a part of your question, we have to tell you that, at the moment, our colleagues are doing a lot of work with Canadian Parents for French and Canadian Youth for French. Together, they are trying to make sure that young anglophone students registered in French immersion programs can continue their education in French at post-secondary level.
It is important for immersion students to be able to continue their education in French. If they do not, unfortunately, there is a danger that they will lose what they have learned in French in subsequent years. For us, that is very important. That is why we are working in partnership with those two organizations.
Mr. Chair, I have to tell you that I am also grateful to Canadian Heritage; they saw how receptive the colleges were to the importance of immersion. The department has provided us with funds to continue our work in that area.
