There are many. I took part in the consultations and had to emphasize several points. I will not restate them all here. If I had to choose one case among so many others, I would talk about the Syrian refugees who have arrived in Canada. As a francophone organization, we were involved in taking those refugees in. We welcomed them and we had interpreters, but unfortunately we were forced to redirect them to English language training. In fact, our franco-Manitoban school division did not have adequate resources to integrate the Syrian children who arrived. Manitoba is an anglophone majority province, and English therefore dominates.
To integrate, those immigrants therefore needed to learn English, which is the majority language. However, they also needed to learn French, although we were not even able to give them the choice since some of the services and resources are not provided in French. We were forced to direct them immediately to the anglophone sector and to register them for language courses. That is a danger for us as a community because we risk losing them over the long term, whereas we did all the preliminary work.
That is one example among so many others.
