Mr. Moynihan talked earlier about the number of English-language learners who are part of our French immersion programs, and we've just done some quick calculations of our own here at the table. We see that one in four students in grade 1, for example, at the beginning level of French immersion, also receive support in their endeavours to learn to speak English. Certainly, that would be a factor in the number of new Canadians whom we have the privilege of serving in our district. It is very high. The complexities of learning French as a second language while at the same time learning English as a second language is, in all likelihood, a factor that affects their choice of immersion programs.
