Good morning and welcome. I'm very happy that you are with us this morning.
I'll speak to you in French, but it's okay for me. I represent Two Mountains, Saint-Eustache, Boisbriand, and Rosemère. I have the Commission scolaire Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier in my riding, in Rosemère, so I'm very happy that you are with us. I know you have a very big riding. Laval–Laurentides–Lanaudière is very big, I know. You have many challenges.
Earlier, we talked about the retention of young people. I have been living in the Rivière-des-Mille-Îles riding for a number of years. I previously lived in Rosemère, a bilingual city.
The anglophone minority of Deux-Montagnes now represents 20% of the population. Those people are very involved in their community.
In Rosemère, 15% of the population is anglophone. There is really a huge difference between those two cities. I live in Boisbriand and it's not the same thing as in Deux-Montagnes and Rosemère.
Let's now look at the issue of youth retention. We have talked about bilingualism. I know the Sir Wilfrid Laurier school board is working hard to ensure young people have a good command of English first, but also of French. Earlier, you talked about a high school graduation rate of 85%, I believe.
At the federal level, how do you explain that successful retention?
