It's not an advantage, because the Quebec government is forced to add money. For example, an English-language high school and a French-language high school, each with 1,000 students, receive the same operating budget. Federal government money is then added to the Quebec government's money, but only for English-language institutions. So, in Quebec, English-language institutions receive more funding, even at the elementary and secondary levels.
Why should we receive this money to anglicize Quebec? It would be better if Franco-Ontarians received it. Seriously, you need quite a bit more money for your universities and your elementary and secondary schools. In order to make the French language attractive in a minority setting, you need money to have strong institutions, highly trained teachers, and medical schools, for example.
At the University of Ottawa, medical students who speak French are told to “speak white.” Marianne Dépelteau of Francopresse revealed that last spring. It is unbelievable that such words are spoken in a country that is supposed to be bilingual. These words are directed at Franco-Ontarians. Franco-Ontarians say they feel embarrassed to speak English as a result. It makes no sense. Instead, money should be spent on explaining to anglophones that you don't say such things to francophones, especially in a place like the University of Ottawa.
