I'm not sure where to start on that big question.
The labour crisis is multi-faceted. A lot of people are retiring and fewer young people are moving up the ladder, for instance. As for retention, a number of studies by the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages and the Canadian Association of Immersion Professionals, among others, show that there is also a crisis among new teachers, who find the profession too difficult from the outset.
There are several challenges. I know that in Canada, it's very complicated to establish certain standards for training second-language teachers. Standards vary greatly across Canada. In fact, from one institution to another or from one province to another, certified teachers have received varying degrees of training. At the beginning of their careers, new teachers therefore have a steep learning curve. Under our system, new employees often end up with the most complex and difficult workload. This is perhaps the only sector in Canada where new employees are treated this way. It should come as no surprise, then, that employees find the work quite difficult.
Training and supporting early-career teachers are important avenues—
