Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Ms. Dubois, not long ago, we heard from representatives of the Fédération des parents francophones de Colombie-Britannique. When we look at that, there has clearly been an obstruction to French-language education and intentional anglicization of francophones as a result of British and English-Canadian colonialism. We were told that it was in 1977 that the British Columbia government granted francophones the right to French-language education.
When we look at what's happening today, we see that there's a lack of political will when it comes to funding French-language schools. You mentioned the chronic underfunding of French-language schools, and all the other witnesses have spoken about this as well. We have to wonder whether, in the end, there isn't a desire to let the assimilation of francophones continue by underfunding educational institutions. What do you think?
