I think you are right. It is really important to do that.
I am pleased that you are here with us. I grew up as a francophone in Ontario and I remember the FESFO, the involvement and encouragement and leadership role it plays in bringing francophones in Ontario together to work together. Every time we took part in activities that brought francophones from all over this enormous province together, it must really have been a lot of work. I do not think I appreciated that for what it was really worth at the time. It really did provide a feeling of solidarity.
That is why I also recognize the barriers associated with being a minority language community. I grew up in the area around Toronto. I did not live in a francophone community; I had to travel a long way to go to school. At that time, and this is no longer the case now, the school was annexed to an anglophone school. So there was discrimination based on language.
Could you talk to us about specific barriers that girls in the francophone community in Ontario face, in terms of discrimination based on language?
