The funding provided by the federal and provincial governments should first be used to retain the francophones who are already there, rather than neglecting them completely. However, the criteria are always based on the number of students, and that has never benefited the francophone minority.
To have a French-language school, a lot of young anglophones or assimilated francophones who may have the right to be there are admitted. I don't have a problem with that. The problem is that the funding provided is based on the number of students and not on needs. Needs should take precedence, not the number of students.
Our school boards are forced to prostitute themselves in order to recruit enough students to obtain funding, as the funding provided makes it possible to create good jobs.
