I would like to come back to the point raised by Mr. Nolette. French immersion students should be recognized as second language learners. For example, most of the time I speak French and rarely do I speak English. Consequently, I am not recognized as someone eligible for the program or as a bilingual person in Canada. It is important to recognize second language learners. It is also vital that we continue to offer language development opportunities for teachers and students in authentic contexts.
