It will be difficult to answer after what Ms. Nicolas just said. I felt it was important to appear before the committee for personal and professional reasons.
Personally, I kind of took my French childhood for granted. I come from an area where there was a better balance. I come from an exogamous family, but I was able to do all my education in French. I want my children to have that same opportunity. As Ms. Nicolas just said, there are certainly advantages on the anglophone side, but I find that unfair. My children should have the same benefits in their mother tongue.
As for the professional side, since I work with these children, I can see how far behind they are if they have not had the opportunity to speak French from a young age. Their anglophone comrades, who already speak English, can simply learn and grow. They don't have to work as hard to learn the language in which the subject is taught. I don't know if what I just said makes sense.
