It is said that federal government positions should be bilingual so that Canadians can be provided services in both official languages. Mrs. Lalonde, do you feel that the government is doing enough promotion in the universities to make sure that students understand that it would be good for them to learn the other language? There have to be programs to encourage them along those lines from an early age. You mentioned universities like Moncton and Ottawa, but other universities are poorer.
