Quite so, Ms. Lapointe.
In Manitoba for instance, the Public Schools Act gives francophones the right to build day cares that are attached to the French-language schools. In order to know how many spots are needed, the francophones have to be enumerated.
I will give you a very concrete example. Here in Ontario pre-kindergarten is fully funded, as is the case now for anglophones, but francophones were the ones who innovated in this area. In order to know how many spots are needed, we have to count the number of children.
You are quite correct. Early childhood education is also a part of this, as Mr. Boileau and ACFA mentioned in their presentation. That is also important in forecasting attendance at the post-secondary level. We need to know how many colleges and universities we need, be it in Toronto or elsewhere.
