Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a few questions.
First, I want to talk about core French courses, which are offered in the same way as geography, social studies and other courses. I am not talking about immersion programs here. In grade 7, my son decided to go into the late immersion program, while two of his good friends, whom I know well, decided to take the English program, which included daily French classes. I am really quite impressed with their abilities, insightfulness and tenacity. To me, this really shows the importance of the French courses offered as part of English programs across Canada.
I am curious to know whether you are planning to improve these programs in terms of the French.
