Official Languages committee  I don't believe that would improve matters with regard to the integration of francophone immigrants. I'll give you an example. Here at the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est, we work a lot with the public school board; we have joint initiatives. So even though we have two school systems, that doesn't prevent a high degree of cooperation between the two boards.

Official Languages committee  I can't state a position on that question. It's beyond my competence.

Official Languages committee  That protocol was requested by the Ontario ministry. All the francophone school boards have to develop an intake and communication protocol. That protocol must be submitted to the ministry by the end of November, I believe. Once it's accepted, I believe it will become public. It would therefore be possible to obtain a copy.

Official Languages committee  Good morning. This morning, I'm going to provide you with an overview of the board. I have in my hand some statistics on francophone immigration within the board. Then I'm going to summarize the highlights of a consultation that we've conducted with board stakeholders. Let's look at a picture of francophone immigration at the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est.
