It's a great pleasure to be here.
Mr. Potié, in most cases, French-language instruction doesn't begin until grade 4 in British Columbia. In my experience, children aren't learning much at that stage. Furthermore, teachers generally don't have a good command of French.
Given that teachers from across Canada will be in Ottawa this week, should Parliament consider a measure to improve the level of French proficiency of teachers of French as a second language, particularly in core French education?
