Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have questions for Mr. Dion.
Currently, about 4% of immigrants going to western provinces are French speakers, but the Prime Minister has promised to increase that number to 12% by 2029.
How are the education systems in provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan preparing to adapt to this potential rise in French-speaking newcomers? Have provincial school boards begun planning for an increase in demand for French-language programs, teachers and early childhood education spaces?
