Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses. They've already given us a number of recommendations.
As Mr. Samson mentioned, what we're doing is truly historic. This is the first time that all the elements of the education continuum—early childhood and primary, secondary and postsecondary education—are grouped together in a single study.
My comments will be brief, because I really want to let the witnesses continue to foster the discussion.
My first question is for Mr. Labelle and Ms. Girard.
I was appointed a school trustee in Ontario in 2000, shortly after the creation of the individual francophone school boards in 1999. We're talking about per‑student funding, which you find hugely flawed. Could you give us some recommendations in that regard?
You talked about geography, limited resources and distances. Have you made any specific recommendations to the province to change the core funding formula for francophone minority communities, which is based on the number of students?
