Mr. Speaker, this is an excellent question, and I am convinced that the drop out rate is a reflection of our whole social organization. The drop out rate has something to do with poverty. It has something to do with the lack of hope within Quebec and, if you must know, many people are sovereignists like me and will continue to pursue sovereignty because they are convinced that this is the only way to give people hope and make them drop back in.
While there are technical means to bring young people back to school, we know that those who drop out do not do so because their teachers are boring. We know what makes them drop out. We know that an underprivileged youngster is much more likely to drop out.
