In the case of daycare centres, federal funding goes directly to English-language programs. In our opinion, that is discrimination. That money should help subsidize our preschool program for four-year-olds. That is a glaring example in our view, because we know full well that if children start at one school at the age of four, they will continue at that school.
In certain neighbourhoods, many francophones are offered a space for their four-year-old child at a daycare in an English-language school, so the child will then continue on at that school. The child will not switch to the French-language system later on.
