I remember you, Ms. Lattanzio. I was executive director of the Sorel-Tracy school board in another life, and I remember you very clearly.
How would it be possible to go further? You mentioned the teachers, and that's one of the aspects. However, when we talk about minority education, we often seem to forget that the enormous costs are necessary simply to have a school in our community, whether those costs are for books, software or transportation. When students travel 75 to 90 minutes by bus morning and evening, they really have to be devoted to the cause of education in French.
Since we have few schools, a virtually inadequate number of schools, we need more real estate to welcome our students. We also have to give parents a chance to choose their children's schools. Many parents in Flin Flon and Thompson are rights holders who, however, have lost their rights. We must ensure that section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is considered in its entirety.
