I think the situation has deteriorated.
In 2021, Laurentian University was going through a crisis and the Ford government had decided not to fund the Université de l'Ontario français. The second matter was finally settled. However, now we have the issue of international students that Mr. Zundel raised. This is a challenge that is widely discussed behind the scenes and has worsened the erosion of programs that we were already seeing at the time.
When we look at the background of these students, who fall off the institution's radar after their admission, we see that the vast majority of them were not enrolled in francophone institutions, and even fewer of them in francophone minority institutions. That's a fact.
Université de Moncton and Université Sainte‑Anne, two institutions I am personally more familiar with, cherish their relationship with international students. They want to keep track of them and guide them toward success. They don't see them as people who are invited to come to Canada only to lose track of them. The decision by the Minister of Immigration not to make exceptions for such institutions, which already have a much harder time recruiting students than anglophone majority institutions, is fundamentally undermining their success.
