First, we must continue the dialogue and maintain the pressure. Second, to put pressure on, you have to understand the issue, the need for the Université de l'Ontario français in Toronto and why we are here. The historical background contained in the document provided to you raises many points in this regard.
Demographically, we know that the largest concentration of francophones in Ontario will no longer be in eastern Ontario in six to eight years, but in the Greater Toronto Area. We are already seeing this demographic growth. Indeed, the two existing francophone school boards open new elementary schools every two years and a new secondary school every four or five years. There are 110 elementary schools and 40 high schools in this south-central-western region. In Ontario, 200,000 youth are enrolled in immersion schools, including 150,000 in the Greater Toronto Area. It is therefore extremely important to be able to offer young people who are finishing high school the choice of continuing their studies there, because we know that they won't travel within an 80 kilometre radius if they have the opportunity to study close to home.
