Mr. Speaker, we understand that prospective students and the schools that accepted them are disappointed when applications are rejected.
I want the House to know that last year I was in Tunisia where, during the Sommet de la Francophonie, I had the chance to meet with several leaders and players in our francophonie to come up with solutions to this problem.
I would also like to point out to the House that the approval rate for francophone students from Africa went from 27% in 2022 to 35% this year.
