That's an excellent point.
I worked in British Columbia for 15 years. Quebeckers congregated in Maillardville.
At one point, the number of newcomers speaking English exploded, along with house prices, and francophones then found themselves scattered everywhere. That's why we need more schools.
In addition, newcomers often face financial challenges and all wind up in the same area, which increases the number of students in our already full schools. We also send them the wrong message by saying that, even though Canada is a bilingual country, they will never work in French in Manitoba. To ensure their survival, these people enrol their children in English-language schools. I speak very good French, and my daughter went to the French school and is already bilingual.
However, you have to take all these factors into consideration.
Mr. Beaulieu, you're right in saying that nearly 50%, perhaps even more, of the children of francophone parents currently don't attend French-language schools.
