A few weeks ago, I met a number of witnesses from a francophone school board—I can't remember its exact name—and they were talking about how stagnant funding could affect the appeal of programs, particularly in terms of cultural and sports activities.
They told me, first of all, that there was a clear increase in enrollment. However, when students had a choice, they would sometimes change their mind and go to an anglophone high school where there might be more sports or other activities, like theatre, which they might find more appealing.
Are you finding the same thing in Ontario?
