Postsecondary programs for francophones outside Quebec are seriously underfunded in all Canadian provinces. Current investment represents only a fraction of the money that should be invested in them. The situation is reversed in Quebec, where English-language universities and cégeps receive two or three times more funding based on the anglophone community's demographic weight.
Funding for postsecondary educational institutions is absolutely critical for the vitality of francophones outside Quebec. Since that sector is largely controlled by the provinces, they should increase funding for it.
The Quebec government's Bill 96, which is currently under consideration, includes a clause providing that francophones outside Quebec who do not have French-language programs available to them may enjoy Quebec education rights to come and study in French in Quebec. That clause will probably be adopted. That's good news, but it's also bad news in the sense that those francophones will be absorbed by Quebec and may stay there. So it's a double-edged sword.
The ideal would be to provide much more generous funding to French-language universities and colleges. We need French-language universities and colleges, not bilingual institutions.
