Yes, that was in 1970.
In 2000, the Arsenault-Cameron v. Prince Edward Island ruling restored the right to French schools to Prince Edward Island francophones. In our view, a rights holder can be a rights holder by inheritance. He doesn't speak French because he was unable to attend a French school.
Our communities, formerly francophone, began to speak English to support their children who went to English schools. For a whole generation, there was much less French.
Our mission is somewhat to refrancize those regions. We have francization officers in our schools. We don't have enough of them, but we do have them. Our teachers have two roles: first, they must teach the curriculum and second, they must francize young people. We would like to start that process at the preschool level as well.
Right now, we don't have a francization officer at the preschool level, but we see that as a need.
