In the current economic climate in Canada, I think it’s more important than ever to be bilingual and to have the ability to use English and French domestically and internationally.
Anglophones can easily live without speaking French. It’s far too easy.
We need French immersion for francophones in New Brunswick if we want to survive. Given the current shortage, it’s important to prepare teachers who are equipped to teach in any setting. If I had to put a price on that, I would say that regardless of the cost, be it $1, $2 million or $2 billion, this should be done promptly before it is too late.
