It's absolutely essential. For language to really be integrated, learning has to start in early childhood. So we absolutely have to invest in that.
The same is true for post-secondary education. We don't have a university here, but we do have certain programs that are essential to having a vibrant francophonie. This is possible, because I see a great deal of interest from the people around us. Anglophones want to speak French. They are proud that our country has two official languages. In general, that's what we see. The problem is that the necessary investments aren't being made to offer services. We were talking earlier about the decline in the number of students enrolled in immersion programs or French courses: it's not because of a lack of interest; it's because governments aren't funding the programs.
