Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With regard to the labour shortage, let's talk a little about training needs for early childhood educators and for post-secondary education.
Mr. Levesque, you presented some really shocking and disturbing statistics about the number of graduates coming out of our institutions. We know, for example, that the burnout rate among teachers is very high. The chair of the committee mentioned that as well. We see that there's a lack of support in the classrooms and schools.
I know that those who teach in French in minority communities are under additional pressure, not only to educate our young people, but also to create a universe, a francophone community based on what they do in the classroom and in their school. They are being asked to do a lot more.
I want to raise the issue of post-secondary support for education. Many francophone universities and colleges have made it clear that the promised funding of $80 million per year hasn't materialized under the governing Liberals, and that this is a problem.
Do you support francophone colleges and universities when they say that stable, long-term funding of $80 million per year would be essential to address the education and preschool labour shortage?
The witnesses from New Brunswick might begin.
Mr. Levesque, do you have any comments on that?
