Good morning, Mr. Beaulieu.
Today’s study is on the education continuum. I think it’s important to recall that, pursuant to Section 93 of the Constitution Act, 1867, education falls under provincial jurisdiction. The question is a Gordian knot. We talked about it in relation to post-secondary education, and we’re talking about it again today.
The federal government makes investments. Are they insufficient? We can certainly discuss that. Personally, I’d like to them to be higher, but the key is really to ensure that, when those transfers are made to the provinces, that the money gets spent where it needs to be. Perhaps that’s thanks to the sections on language, which should be imposed on the provinces, to ensure among other things that funding is invested based on the needs of the communities and to meet the needs and priorities of those communities.
