Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome all the witnesses today.
As we know, the purpose of our study is to inform us on the situation and challenges the country is facing. In addition, we're wondering what recommendations we could make to the federal government to find solutions. It's very important.
I spoke at length about the challenges related to education in French and French immersion. I come from western Canada, where we face a major labour shortage in French-language education and immersion. We're also seeing extremely high demand from families. However, our day care centres, primary schools and high schools can't meet that demand due to the labour shortage.
To the representatives of the Fédération nationale des conseils scolaires francophones, what are the main challenges? What would you recommend the federal government do to resolve the labour shortage? What suggestions do you have for immigration?
