I want to mention that in my riding, which is east Toronto, in recent years I found two French schools. One is a Catholic French school, not French immersion, and another is a French public school up to grade 12. It is a collegiate. I see that there is an interest.
In the Pickering and Scarborough areas they are mostly immigrants, but there is a great interest in the French language. I can tell you that the fact that we are bilingual and that we have two official languages is an advantage and not a deterrence. People understand this, at least in my area.
