Official Languages committee  No, I don't think so.

Official Languages committee  There are French courses, but the French courses they teach are similar to the English courses they teach in Gaspésie.

Official Languages committee  That could be one of the reasons. On the other hand, bilingualism in the Northwest Territories is not really valued. It is to a somewhat greater extent than it was in the territorial public service, because of the court rulings calling for more French. Obligations in that respect are clearly not being met.

Official Languages committee  No, not really.

Official Languages committee  It's possible. That is my perspective. It is not the absolute truth.

Official Languages committee  There are currently 123 students.

Official Languages committee  Yes. It covers from kindergarten to Grade 12.

Official Languages committee  No, exactly.

Official Languages committee  There are actually three English-language schools for the three different levels.

Official Languages committee  That is a question I can't answer.

Official Languages committee  Between 500 and 900 students. On the other side of the river, there is also a school for the aboriginal reserve.

Official Languages committee  Yes.

Official Languages committee  No. Those schools were given an opportunity to offer French immersion, but they refused. That explains the existence of the French-language school. Faced with a refusal on the part of Anglophones to offer French immersion, Francophones decided they had to have their own school.

Official Languages committee  As far as recruitment is concerned, whether it is a teaching position or other kind of position, it is always difficult.

Official Languages committee  When we find qualified people, we do everything we can to secure their services.
