So we can see that there's a problem in the province's support for French-language education.
I'd like to address the issue a little more broadly by talking about the education continuum, which goes from early childhood to post-secondary education. The federal government's latest action plan for official languages provides for an investment of $4.1 billion, including $1.4 billion in new funding, and a large part of that money will be used to support the French-language education continuum in the country.
We're talking about $900 million to support minority-language education, French-as-a-second-language learning, support for minority-language post-secondary education, which benefited the Collège Éducacentre in British Columbia, and early childhood development. For example, investments will be made in creating a network of early childhood workers in francophone communities and in strengthening the capacities of educators.
Can you tell me about the importance of this funding for the French-language education continuum in British Columbia?
