I think less attention should be paid to the idea of bilingualism and more to the idea of duality.
New Brunswick is the only province that has a dual education system. The Department of Education is divided into two parts. There are two deputy ministers, an anglophone and a francophone, and they offer parallel programs. This duality is somewhat apparent in health, despite the fact that there's no official duality in that field in New Brunswick. It would be really practical if that could be the case; it's a wish.
Our social experience in New Brunswick is special. I've been speaking with my counterparts for 30 years, and I would say it's often the envy of the other provinces. We have a distinct education system in which we can create programs specific to the community, but this duality isn't without its challenges.
In immigration, for example, if the Acadians of New Brunswick don't manage francophone immigration, then we're doomed. We have to be able to shape a kind of duality in immigration, early childhood and culture. The SANB's position on this is very firm: we demand duality in all matters pertaining to the social development of individuals.
