Yes, thank you.
I think that you clearly established ACEPO's two main priorities.
I also believe that funding is vital to address the teacher shortage. One of our challenges is the lack of spots in universities. With the exception of the Université de l'Ontario français, funding isn't guaranteed for French‑language spots in bilingual universities. This means, for example, that the University of Ottawa and Laurentian University can decide how to allocate their funding. They receive funding, but spots aren't guaranteed for French‑language students. A portion of the funding given to faculties of education must be allocated specifically to French‑language education students. This money must stay in French‑language training.
There should also be funding for teacher training for small cohorts. As Mr. Labelle said, few graduates go on to become secondary school teachers. These training courses aren't provided because the cohorts are so small. There are creative ways to get around this issue, but they require funding and support from our governments.
