Yes, you are right, Mr. Jedwab. Students already learn English in francophone high schools. In fact, people often say that a French speaker has to be bilingual already in order to get into an anglophone CEGEP, but that has more to do with globalization, as you mentioned. Our teaching institutions are already doing a very good job when it comes to second language instruction.
I have a follow-up question.
The challenge is quite clear in Quebec. Does the federal government have a role to play in supporting institutions that promote French in Quebec and elsewhere? The Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste comes to mind. Do you think the federal government could decide that the organization plays an important role in helping French thrive?
