Thank you for the question, Ms. Gladu.
In my opinion, one of the problems is that the provinces and territories are not well aware of the needs of their official francophone minority. In their view, it is the responsibility of the federal government to fund schools or post-secondary institutions for francophone minorities.
As a taxpayer, I don't really care whether the funding comes from the federal or provincial government. The only thing I care about is that my children have access to school services. That's why I mention in the third recommendation that the federal government should develop a massive education funding initiative in co‑operation with the provinces and territories. This would bring schools up to date, as well as allow for the construction of schools and educational facilities, from day care to post-secondary education.
In 2020, the Supreme Court of Canada highlighted the fact that British Columbia needed 17 new schools. Let me say that it's not just British Columbia that needs them. It's also Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the maritime provinces.
Personally, I would like to see the federal government develop an initiative to work with the provinces and territories to develop an agreement that addresses the need for new schools.
