Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks as well to our witnesses.
I am going back to the question that Mr. Généreux put to the minister about education and immersion programs.
My riding is a heavily anglophone riding, very much English, very little francophone population, but we've seen a very high demand for French immersion. In many cases the demand far exceeds the spaces available. We've seen one school board in my riding try to put caps on French language immersion enrolment.
I've spoken to some parents over the last week or so about this issue, and their concern very much rests with the fact that there is funding provided by the federal government but that the funding doesn't necessarily make its way to French language and French immersion programming.
We have seen the Minister of Health suggest that there should be certain rules placed on health care funding. One of my constituents brought up this particular issue: why are there are not similar strings attached to funding for French language programming in places such as Ontario, whereby we can justify and hold accountable the funds that are being provided in communities across the region to make sure they actually go to French language programming?
