My next question is for both of you.
We know that there is a shortage of French-language teaching staff in Manitoba, from early childhood onward. I'm basing that on my own experience here in Thompson.
And if there isn't a staff shortage, then it's the number of spaces available that is problematic in French schools, and it becomes difficult to enrol all the children.
The federal government has not indexed transfers for French education for years, and funds are hard to access.
What role could educational institutions play in slowing the decline of French in the communities?
