Madam Speaker, French language post-secondary institutions like Campus Saint-Jean allow young francophones to study and progress in their language and in their community. These institutions are crucial for francophones from coast to coast to coast since they help promote the French language by training all Canadians who wish to study French as a second language.
I will give my colleague a direct answer.
Our government understands the importance of Campus Saint-Jean. We have already invested $3.7 million to support it. We made a commitment in that regard. We only hope that the province of Alberta and Premier Jason Kenney, along with our Conservatives colleagues in the House of Commons in Ottawa, will recognize the importance of ensuring the vitality of Campus Saint-Jean and show their support for a bilingual Canada.
