I think we need to continue investing in French language instruction. Many people in the field dedicate enormous amounts of time to this issue. We also need to ensure the quality of the language. Obviously, new teachers need to be recruited, but sometimes our students have a language proficiency level that is quite low, which worries me. I am part of the problem, because I'm too kind when grading my students, so I'm contributing to this problem.
